HURRICANE CORES THE BIG APPLE [Paperback]

Joseph J. Cacciotti (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2009

Reading Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer crime novels series so captivated Joe Cacciotti's imagination when he was in school that when Spillane died in 2006, Cacciotti felt compelled to introduce his own series featuring Hurricane. Meet Samuel James Rufus, the son of a Shoshone mother and a career military/lawman Italian father. From his beginning on a Nevada Indian reservation Sam was physically and mentally agile, but as a teenager in New York he got in trouble with the law that forced him to decide his own fate. After six years in the United States Army that included an unprecedented rise to service as a Green Beret, he joins forces with the detective squad in New York. Just when he thought his days of fighting were over, he is called upon to help out two friends from his past. Now he must return to the fierceness he once knew in the army-an eye for an eye, a life for a life.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

I wanted to create a differnet type of a hero, one who would be different in how he appoaches  helping others. No matter where he is needed, he'd would travel around helping people in need. I wanted to create a name that everyone would recognise, and know the destruction he could bring along with him.
Samuel James Rufus also know as Hurricane was born part Shoshone, part Italian. Taught how to track and hunt by the Shoshone warriors, trained how to fight and kill by the Green Beret's. Read what happens when Samuel Rufus puts all his skills together, to help two friends in need. By the time he's through, Victims will call him Hero, Criminals will call him HURRICANE.

Hurricane Cores the Big Apple, is the first of a series of books that will be released. Hurricane Rocks Wisconsin is scheduled to be released sometime in the fall of 2011.

This review is from: HURRICANE CORES THE BIG APPLE (Paperback)

Had a chance to read "Hurricane Cores the Big Apple" and I thought this author did a great job creating a new character. Enjoyed the writing style and plot line. Look forward to reading "Hurricane Rocks Wisconsin" some day and finding out if Sam truly becomes a private investigator!

Many thanks.
