“…Ponzo manages to portray the inner workings of the FBI and other agencies as if he is an insider… The set pieces are exciting and I can just see this on the big screen making a great movie. It is sort of like a Kindle version of NCIS or NCIS LA two of my favorite shows. It has scenes as good as any in Clear and Present Danger.” –Clement Singarajah, Reviewer
A Sicilian FBI agent, Nick Bracco, recruits his mafia cousin to chase down the world’s most feared terrorist in this award-winning, heart-thumping thriller from Kindle Nation fave Gary Ponzo – the first volume in the Nick Bracco Series.
Winner of the Southwest Writers Novel Contest, Thriller category!
Here’s the set-up:
His first novel, “A Touch of Deceit,” took five years to write and one to pick clean. The story was born from his childhood experiences working in his father’s candy store in Brooklyn, NY. His father was Sicilian and became friendly with some local members of a different kind of Sicilian family. Since Gary was just fifteen at the time, these family members would make sure he was protected whenever he would work late at night by himself. He soon discovered a side to the mafia not many people knew. It was these relationships which caused him to write about Sicilian FBI agent, Nick Bracco, who recruits his mafia cousin to chase down the world’s most feared terrorist.
A Touch of Deceit went on to win the 2009 Southwest Writers Novel Contest, Thriller category. He is working on the sequel to the novel as well as continuing to publish his short stories. Gary currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife Jennifer and two children, Jessica and Kyle.
