Book Tour & Giveaway ~ The Puppet Master by Ronald S. Barak


The
Puppet Master
by
Ronald S. Barak

Genre:
Thriller, Suspense 


What
would YOU do if they took everything you had, your family, your home,
your business, your dignity, even—perhaps—your sanity?
S.
Barak's latest, 
The
Puppet Master
,
prequel to 
The
Amendment Killer
,
and the second in the Brooks/Lotello Thriller Series, is a gripping
story of a political system gone awry—and those who feel compelled
to fix it. “
Have
you ever killed anyone? I have. I’ll do it again. If I need
to.”
 Three
prominent political leaders in Washington, D.C., murdered in as many
days.


Not a plausible story premise? What about the real world
villain who recently mailed a series of pipe bombs to a number of
prominent political figures? Ripped from the headlines? Barak gives
new meaning to the word "timely." 
The
Puppet Master
 isn't
ripped from the headlines; written first, it forecast the headlines
that followed!

The
Puppet Master
 begins
with a bang. Literally. Three of them. Not a page wasted. Capitol
Hill panics. Who will be next? Others whisper that our political
leaders are only getting what they deserve. Anxious to see who will
be next. And why.

Crafty D.C. homicide detective Frank Lotello
is tasked to find the killer. Cliff Norman, a local businessman with
ample motive, is arrested. Politicians breathe a sigh of relief.
However, when Lotello discovers a disturbing White House connection,
he suspects Norman may not be what he appears to be. Things may not
be what they appear to be.

Norman's trial commences in the
courtroom of savvy D.C. trial court judge Cyrus Brooks. An angry
nation rallies behind Norman. The jury debates whether Norman's
actions may be legally justified by a rampant abuse of political
trust, and threatens to unravel the very fabric of our dysfunctional
government.

In an unprecedented and questionable manner that
may destroy their respective careers, Lotello quietly approaches
Brooks and they form a secret alliance to uncover the truth in this
classic whodunnit mystery. Before it's too late.

Blurring
fiction and reality, The Puppet Master will have you dangling from
the first page to the very last.

The

whenever

terrific!”

Described
by his readers as a cross between Agatha Christie, Lee Child, and
John Lescroart, bestselling author Ron Barak keeps his readers
flipping the pages into the wee hours of the night. While he mostly
lets his characters tell his stories, he does manage to get his licks
in too.


Barak
derives great satisfaction in knowing that his books not only
entertain but also stimulate others to think about how things might
be, how people can actually resolve real-world problems. In
particular, Barak tackles the country's dysfunctional government
representatives--not just back-seat driving criticism for the sake of
being a back-seat driver, but truly framing practical remedies to the
political abuse and corruption adversely affecting too many people's
lives today. Barak's extensive legal background and insight allow him
to cleverly cross-pollinate his fiction and today's sad state of
political reality.

Ron
and his wife, Barbie, and the four-legged members of their family
reside in Pacific Palisades, California.
