A Killer Season – Book Description
Coll Nolan left the Marine Corps at the end of the Vietnam War a hero, with no job and no future. He had only one ambition: to win the most money in Las Vegas history betting on major league baseball. To begin to do that he needed a bankroll to start him off, but had no idea how to amass it.
A former Marine buddy offers to get him a job with his family business in New York City, a prominent diamond import business. The menial, but high-paying, job includes being a chauffeur and bodyguard for the company’s Dutch-born owner, Bartel Vandermeer. It seems like work heaven-sent, but before long he’s asked to perform acts that go far beyond driving a limo.
Coll Nolan soon must run for his life from men who want him dead. They hunt him and find him, even under government protection in remote places. His Las Vegas goal begins to look like an impossible dream, unless he can get the money he needs, hone his baseball skills sharply enough to take on the gambling experts in Nevada and, at the same time, deal with the killers who stalk him. He calls upon all his military savvy to help him survive, and finds an ally in a most unexpected place. The support is a welcome stroke of luck, but like all Las Vegas bets, there are never any guarantees.
An additional factor creeps into play: For Coll to realize his goal, he has to sidestep the death that threatens him daily for an entire baseball season-almost seven months.
Coll knows, one way or another, it’s going to be A Killer Season.
Below are a few reviews from readers of the book:
♦ ANOTHER GREAT ONE! This is another one that is hard to put down. Like THE OMEGA FORMULA, it keeps you interested from the beginning to the end. Keep up the great work. I already pre-ordered RESORT ISLE.
♦ Unlike so many titles today, I enjoyed each scene. Enjoyed the suspense without being unnerved. Hated the bad guys, hero was a good guy… just as it should be. A KILLER SEASON was well done; as an easy, enjoyable read. Vegas, baseball, and a mystery – what’s not to like?
♦ I read Mr. Sekulich’s book THE OMEGA FORMULA and just loved it, so I had to try his new book A KILLER SEASON and it is just GREAT– can’t wait for some more of Mr. Sekulich’s books!
♦ I enjoyed this book. It was a fast read with lots of twists & turns & a surprise or two. You won’t get bored.
♦ This was the first book that I read of Paul Sekulich’s. The concept of this book is so interesting, that I read it in two days. I had the pleasure of meeting Paul and his wife, Joyce, recently and that is how I came to read A KILLER SEASON. You won’t be disappointed in this book.
