Chemical Burn

"The perfect combination of science fiction, noir, and detective drama, Chemical Burn drips with snark and action. Fans of Larry Correia's Monster Hunters or Jonathan Maberry's Joe Ledger will love this." ~ Bryan Thomas Schmidt, Hugo nominated editor The last thing Los Angeles needed was a high-tech, ex-assassin from another world setting up shop as a private detective. They got one anyway, in the form of Justin Case, a smart-ass killing machine looking for a little redemption. When one of Case's closest friends turns up dead, the alien detective and his predatory partner Magdelain track down an Italian mobster secretly hammering L.A. with a new designer drug. Case must call in favors from a bare-knuckles brawler tied to the Russian mob and a hot-bodied sniper who makes a mean cappuccino. Before the end, he'll even put the love of his life in harm's way and risk everything by revealing his greatest secret. "There's a little bit of everything in Quincy J. Allen's Chemical Burn, a sci-fi thriller that features an alien assassin with a catlike sidekick, designer drugs, Italian and Russian mobsters, straight-shooting sexpots, evil masterminds, and dry-cleaning fluids.... This fast-moving novel begins and ends in violence, piling up a body count seldom achieved in more straightforward thrillers." ~ Betty Webb, MysterySceneMag.com "Clearly one of the best books I've read in the last year, Allen kept me guessing the entire time. Justin Case is a tremendous character and written with a tenacity that speaks volumes in just a few sentences. Every scene is taut and engaging. The Endgame Trilogy will be high on my list of sequels to purchase and devour. I highly recommend this book." ~ Kevin Ikenberry, Award-Winning Author
