Book Description

March 5, 2007


Only a Crazy Person Would Mess with Killer Cain!

"Don't do this, Bobby Ray!" Cain cautioned. "You're only making it worse for yourself!" Bobby Ray just shook his head at him and smiled. Then, he lifted the boy in his arm, as a protective shield, and started inching his way back towards the ice cream truck. The boy kicked and screamed the entire way. "Don't worry, kid... I'm gonna get you out of this!" Cain assured him and aimed his .38 directly at the perpetrator's forehead.

Cain is a government agent caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a gun-dealing religious fanatic intent on avenging the death of his brother. With the assistance of his partner, Jo, a tough-as-nails female agent who will stand up to any man, Cain chases his query from the streets of LA to the deep forests of Alabama and finally to the Midwest heartland, all the time causing the reader to wonder who is really chasing whom. Along the way, they meet an assortment of wonderfully intriguing characters, including a young gangbanger with a Napoleon complex, a clown who hates children, a thrill-seeking tour guide, and a middle-aged stalker.

Author Bryan Foreman weaves an original tale of suspense with twists and turns that will astound you. Cain's encounters with neo-Nazis, the KKK, a huge stockpile of armaments, and his old nemesis will leave you on the edge of your seat all the way to the bone-chilling climax. Killer Cain is an extraordinary thriller, told in the same hard-boiled fashion as a Mickey Spillane or Raymond Chandler novel. Join Cain and Jo as together they tackle their toughest case, and the adventure of a lifetime.

More About the Author

After I graduated from Oklahoma University- a long, long time ago it seems- I went straight to work for my dad in his construction business, making twelve bucks an hour. It seemed like a lot of money at the time and he kept giving me raises, so I've been in the family business ever since- while writing on the side. During my college years, I enjoyed writing short stories. Plus, I wrote a screenplay that is still sitting on a shelf somewhere in Hollywood, waiting to be green-lit. I still have my fingers crossed. In 2001, I began writing my first novel, Killer Cain, and finally got it published in 2007- after so many rewrites. My second novel, The Everyday Housewife, went a lot smoother and was an absolute joy to write. I think I've finally gotten the hang of it! You can find out all about my latest book on my website, www.theeverydayhousewife.com. I hope to write at least one more novel before I die. I am currently on the second page.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Page - Turning Thriller, April 27, 2007
By 
Tracy Roberts (Nova Scotia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Killer Cain (Paperback)
Bryan Foreman's debut novel, Killer Cain, is a fast-paced thriller that chronicles the deadly adventures of ATF agent John Cain. Cain, a seasoned agent, carries the emotional scars resulting from the dark and disturbing life as an ATF officer. He is a man riddled with the guilt and haunting memories of love and loss. Living a life focused entirely on his job, Cain becomes obsessed with a gun-dealing psychotic by the name of Bobby Ray Hooker.

Hooker, a racist and religious fanatic, escapes from prison and becomes dangerously fixated on Cain, the man he blames for his own loss. Cain and Hooker embark on a mad journey of payback where everything and everyone Cain cherishes becomes threatened. Cain and Hooker become embroiled in a twisted and sinister chase that takes both men from the seedy and crime ridden streets of LA, to the dark and deadly forests of Alabama, and finally to Cain's brother and family in Oklahoma City.

Killer Cain is a captivating thriller filled with many surprising deadly twists and turns. The author takes readers into the vividly described violent world of guns and racist hate mongering fanatics. Although the dialogue may seem harsh to some, it gives a sense of realism to the twisted and deadly hate filled racists such as the KKK.

Within the violence and bloodshed, important themes of love, loss, and family become entwined with self-pity, guilt, and vengeance. Cain's brother and family reveal Cain's longing and painful guilt for the peaceful life that he gave up for a life of capturing criminals, and delving into the darkness they represent. My only question of a realistic approach to one issue is Cain's brother and how quick he forgives indiscretions.

At the heart of Killer Cain, is a story of revenge and redemption. From start to finish, the thriller is a definite page-turner. I highly recommend the book to readers who enjoy engaging and action packed stories with unexpected twists and turns.
