Born of war. Raised by Nazis. Circumstances have given Will Hessler every excuse to become a monster. Instead, he's going to become the one hunting them.
All his life, seventeen-year-old Will Hessler has had to live with the knowledge that his mother and grandfather are Nazis - escapees from the Third Reich, living anonymously in the suburbs of San Francisco. Until now, whispered rumors have been the only judgement they've ever received.
But when Will's mother does the unthinkable - bombing a synagogue, killing dozens, and horribly injuring Will's girlfriend in the process - he knows the time has finally come to choose between family and justice.
Will's history, past and connections have positioned him perfectly to become the ultimate undercover operative, infiltrating San Francisco's most vile and extremist groups. But when he learns of a threat that could make the Bay run red with blood, Will realizes there's one more thing he'll have sacrifice in order to save thousands: The chance of ever having a clear conscience again.
Among Wolves is the first book in the powerful and intense Jericho Black Thriller series, filled with richly envisioned and conflicted characters, horrific events mirrored by real-life headlines, and a vividly-realized historical setting.
What Amazon Readers Are Saying:
★★★★★ "What can I say about this book but WOW! This is not my usual read, but I was looking for something new and out of my comfort zone to read. I read the synopsis and something just stood out to me, so I bought it. I am so glad I did. I’m what I like to call a skim reader. I read the interesting parts, but when a book gets boring or there is nothing going on, I speed read or “skim” through the boringness to get to the action. There was none of that in this book. I even found myself going back to reread passages." -Skye
★★★★★ "The plot was riveting and the fully developed characters were so real to me. The subject matter and actions taken were sometimes hard to to stomach but not unreasonable. I've thus read at least 6 more of the books on this premise by this author. I recommend it to any mature reader." -Ralph 2
★★★★★ "What a great and thrilling read! I am so glad that this is going to be such an exciting series, I am very highly anticipating reading the following book. I was just taking a chance when I read this first one, but I liked it so much and now I am so grateful there is more to the story." -Amanda
★★★★★ "I just finished a two day binge read of the entire Jericho Black novels. They are wonderful and gut wrenching at the same time. You watch this wonderful young man, the grandson of a Nazi war criminal, growing up aiming to be an artist ,when thru some earlier choices he made he is thrust into undercover work for Israel. It's a job he never dreamed of nor wanted but he is darn good at. These are the best books I have read in ages. They could have been written about the middle east today and the author's attention to detail is the best I've seen in a long time." -Bonnie Rhodes
