Jim DeLorey’s ‘Scream Cruise: A Motor City Thriller’ offers a high-octane blend of suspense, action, humor and romance
In Jim DeLorey’s Scream Cruise: A Motor City Thriller,
metro Detroit is being terrorized by a series of appalling car and bus
bombings in the days leading up to the Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise.
Then local officials receive a demand for $25 million from a group
calling themselves "Al-Qaeda in Detroit” to stop the bombings.
Local
FBI agent McCoy Johnson, an Iraq bomb squad veteran, is brought in on
the case. He soon discovers that the bombers have it in not only for
the city of Detroit but for him personally. With the death toll
mounting, McCoy - aided by a wisecracking partner, the spirit of his
murdered sister, and an Internet porn magnate known as Willie the Pimp -
finds himself racing around the city to stop the slaughter. In the few
moments when he has time to breathe, he also runs into romantic
complications, meeting a gorgeous doctor who may be the love of his
life, while a married ex-lover keeps relentlessly trying to seduce him
again. When Dream Cruise day arrives, McCoy at last manages to figure
out the bomber's fiendish plan and must race against the clock to stop
the killer from inflicting a holocaust on the massive crowd of car
enthusiasts.
A
long-time fan of thriller fiction, Detroit author DeLorey has taken the
humorous elements he enjoys from authors such as J.A. Konrath and Janet
Evanovich and incorporated them into his own, unique, tongue-in-cheek
style. Readers will find themselves breathlessly turning pages as the
twisting story unfolds, keeping them in suspense as McCoy’s mission
becomes ever more threatening and time-sensitive. With its deft
combination of suspense, action, humor, horror, and romance (not to
mention its memorable characters), readers will be left anxious for the
next installment in the series. Readers from or familiar with Detroit
will especially enjoy the various Motor City landmarks that appear over
the course of the story.
