Chicago Police Detectives Pete Shannon and Marilyn Benson are
thrust into a homicide investigation, taking them away from the
Violent Crimes Unit where they are normally assigned. A crazed
gunman has been targeting cops, killing them for no apparent
reason, other than for his own deranged satisfaction. The duo find
themselves teamed with a pair of tough talking, abrasive, seasoned
cops who do their best to interfere with the young detectives at
every juncture, making their lives miserable. The hunt for the
serial killer becomes a life-altering experience for the partners
as they face individual challenges that threaten to destroy them.
At the same time, Father Ed Matthews, a Catholic priest, has been
accused of child molestation at the southwest side parish where
he's assigned. Pete and Marilyn arrest him, but as the priest
begins his journey through the Chicago judicial system, he decides
to flee the city and become a fugitive. He begins a journey away
from the priesthood from which he may never return.
""Targeted" will grab you and not let go. A must read for all
mystery / suspense / thriller enthusiasts"
"-- Paul Lindsay, author of five bestselling FBI novels
" "Wills writes about the streets of Chicago like only a former
Chicago cop could."
"-- Noah Boyd, New York Times bestselling author of The Bricklayer
" "Targeted" is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Chicago
detectives who are guided by God's hand and mores while struggling
to apprehend a serial assassin who's targeting cops. John Wills has
crafted a Christian thriller with heart."
"-- Alan Jacobson, New York Times bestselling author of Velocity
" "Wills creates a psychopathic serial killer, a terrifying
monster, and unleashes him onto the streets of Chicago."
"-- Mark Safarik, FBI Criminal Profiler (Ret.) and Director of
Forensic Behavioral Services.
" "Wills wrote a thriller with an ending I could not have
imagined."
"-- Frank Borelli, Editor-in-Chief, Officer.com
" "Retired FBI agent John M. Wills keeps cranking out the books.
He's just penned this third suspense novel "Targeted" as part of
his "Chicago Warriors Thriller" series. The ex-FBI agent and former
Chicago cop has written a novel about a sniper who targets and
kills cops in Chicago, rocking the Windy City. As a part of the
complex tale, a Catholic priest is arrested for child molestation,
but flees Chicago after being freed on bond. The two story lines
collide in an unforgettable ending."
