*Mature content. May not be suitable for some readers.*

What would they do for power? ... Everything.

A political conspiracy thriller for our times.

"Moving at the speed of light, the electric impulses delivered their message to his conscious brain as the hammer fell on the revolver. The blinding white light that followed extinguished all that was Clayton Marswell."

The string of bloody bodies scattered across the Georgia landscape seems to have nothing in common.

The victims have only one connection. They are all on a list. The question is, why and whose list is it? United once again to unravel the conspiracy behind the murders, "The Hunters," George Mackey, Sharon Price, and Bob Shaklee are joined by Andrew Barnes and Perry Boyd of the elite Atlanta Homicide Division in a hunt that takes them from inner-city Atlanta to the swamps of south Georgia.

The story's gripping conclusion explodes in the revelation of the conspirators' identities. The one task left for the Hunters is to confront and take down the killing team... if they can.

From Bestselling Author, Glenn Trust, Fans of Law and Order, CSI, and House of Cards will love this gripping mystery crime and conspiracy thriller!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Glenn Trust is the author of the bestselling Hunters, Sole Justice, and Journey Series of mystery/thriller/suspense novels. He has also written standalone works including Dying Embers, Mojave Sun, and a number of short stories.

For the record, there are no superheroes or knights in shining armor in his stories. According to Trust, knights are for fairy tales. His books are gritty and based in the real world with characters who face their frailties while dealing with their roles in the story. The heroes are simply average people doing the best they can.

The villains, as real villains often do, look like us. Trust's monsters hide behind the smiling faces that pass us on the street. They look like us, and this makes them more frightening.

Today, he writes full-time and lives quietly with his wife and two dogs, Gunner and Charlie. You can find all of his work here on his Amazon Author Page or on his Book Bub Author page, As an independent author, he would greatly appreciate a follow on either or both pages.

Atlanta, Ga. Buckhead district. Judge Clayton Marswell (Haitian/A/A, husband/father, U of Georgia, Morehouse College; JD) who had stopped for gas was being accosted.
The 2 men with ski masks took his car & made him get in his black BMW.
The gas station video cameras were recording the incident.
He was taken to a warehouse, the tires were jacked & he was robbed of everything on his person.

BANG! Judge Marswell wouldn’t be trying any more cases.
It was a dangerous game they were playing,
The speaker/phone was on the coffee table blaring so the 3 of them could hear.
Phase 1 was a disaster.
You are to report back when phase 2 is complete.
They parted separately so to not arise any suspicion.
Pickham County. Timothy “Timmy” Farrin (son, broadcast journalist, blogger, Everett Gazette asst. editor, radio station) was out for his daily AM jog when he looked up to see a vehicle headed for him.
That was the last time he would ever be jogging.
The stolen rental SUV was abandoned.
“Big Bud” Thompson was an avid hunter, & he despised poachers.
Lauralee Somerhill (70, wife/mother) still heard gunshots in the distance.
She figured it was Brett Jackson (oldest), Bobby Jackson, & Billy Jackson out hunting.
Prentiss Somerhill Sr. (husband/father, Somerhill & Son LTD Attorneys at Law, retired GA state Senator) had eaten & was taking a nap.
Later, Lauralee dialed 911. Prentiss body had 3 bullet holes in his chest.

Deputy Sheriff George Mackey (Pickham County), Atlanta PD, & the EMT all arrived simultaneously.
Sheriff Harvey Grizzard (Hinchfield County) had called GBI SA Sharon Price & she arrived shortly.
Officer Torrance (Atlanta PD) was briefing Detective Andrew “Andy” Barnes (Atlanta PD Homicide) about the BMW with no wheels/tires & the bloody corpse.
Tom (Atlanta PD CSU) & the others were hard at work.
Betty Farrin mother had dialed 911.
Deputy Sheriff George Mackey arrived.
Timmy was not at/in his trailer.
Captain Perry Boyd (Atlanta PD Homicide) asked Detective Barnes how the Marswell murder case was going.
Deputy Sheriff Mackey informed Sheriff Richard Klineman (Pickham County), & Chief Deputy Ronnie Kupman what he had found.
Timmy had been murdered in a hit/run & the final impact of him landing in an oak tree didn’t help matters much for his survival.

Colonial Hotel. The murder investigations continue.
Apartment 2C. Captain Perry Boyd (Atlanta PD) & GBI SA (Bob Shaklee ballistics expert) went to check out Terrell Perkins place.
Terrell was read Miranda rights & placed under arrest for the murder of Rubin Martz (jewelry store owner).
The murder of Martha Crandall was vastly different than the Porter Wright (blogger, Everett Gazette boss/editor) one.
What evidence did Detective Gary “Ponce” Poncinelli (Atlanta PD Homicide) & Lieutenant/Detective
Frederick “Freddy” Hurst (Atlanta PD Homicide, retried US Army tank gunner, Gulf War) come up with?

I do not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing free books from publishers & authors. Therefore, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one.

An awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very professionally written murder mystery book. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a huge description list of unique characters, settings, facts etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great murder mystery movie, or better yet a mini-TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is an extremely easy rating of 5 stars.

Thank you for the free author; Lightning Publishing; 2nd edition; Amazon Digital Services LLC.; book

Another good one for Trust, super

Good, solid well written book.

This one starts out with a murder. The murder of Judge Clayton Marswell. Marswell is very well respected and did much to gain civil rights for African Americans. He resides in Atlanta.

Before you know it we have second murder. Prentiss Somerhill a retired State Senator. Somerhill is a man who resigned as a State Senator because of issues he has with those in power. He is killed at his country home.

Murder number three is Timmy Farron. He's the assistant editor of the Everette Gazette and he runs the local radio station, reporting the news, and conducting interviews. He's also has a blog site, Term Limits. He was killed while jogging on the side of the road. He resides in Pickham County.

The folks committing the murders are a team lead by one Rodney Puckett. He's a very careful man. A man who has no problem killing and ordering killing if the price is right. His team is very, very good. They love money as well.

We have three people who condone the killings and others in DC who ordered these killings.

Of course Shaklee and Price with the GBI are called in and Andrew Barns an Atlanta Detective will be assisting the GBI.

George MacKey is on the job in Pickham County and the death of Timmy Farrin. He also has his pal Ronnie Kupman running interference with the idiot Sheriff. A sheriff who sees nothing but a hit and run.

So begins one great story.

This one is full of murder, two folks in DC who feel they are above the law, three men who have loads to gain, a team of stone cold killers and one dedicated group of cops.

MacKey also gets a surprise when he and Price team up again. One very pleasant surprise.

We also have the death of one very good man. A man MacKey will surely miss.

Just one super read and deserving of more than five stars.

Another winner from Glenn Trust.

This is a complex mystery with a lot of developed characters and an engaging plot. You have George, Sharon and others from book #1, but this story added multiple layers of characters as the conspiracy unfolded. It isn't often you can have multiple lead players in a story and not cause confusion, but Glenn Trust made it work. The death and funeral near the end actual brought me to tears, which was unexpected.

Great book, another winner!

Book 2, in The Hunters series

This political conspiracy thriller explores the obsession with power by those in office who are determined to remain there and will go to any lengths and use every trick in the book to retain their power…..

We have lots of gun play and multiple murders scattered across the Georgia landscape, the story is an easy read with good pacing. The string of victims are clearly political opponents who have wildly different views and background and one by one they become target of a hit team…..Once again “The Hunters” unite and work together to get to the bottom of the conspiracy and get justice.

Interesting plot, vivid characters some new and some recurring from book 1. This story is nicely written to give us all thrills needed to keep us on our toes from beginning to end. It also gives us things to ponder on: does power really corrupts? I was drawn immediately by the conspiracy and simply couldn’t put the book down in order to see what mayhem will be thrown in next. With a delicate balance between suspense and humour “Sanctioned Murder” has a solid plot that needs your attention to keep everything straight but is well worth the time to stay with it.
