Howard Pratt would not stand out if you saw him on
the street as he is just an average 36 year old guy. An average guy with hair a
little too long and a scar at the corner of his mouth. An average guy who
twenty some odd years ago killed another 16 year old boy after he tortured him.
Pratt went to an adult facility, did his time, and since then has had a clean
record.
Noah Milano, son of the most notorious crime boss in
Los Angeles, is willing to consider being Pratt’s bodyguard while he is in
town. That sort of thing is what Noah does these days as a security specialist.
Pratt is supposed to meet with Brady’s parents in the office of psychologist Denny
Sturgis. The meeting is supposed to help both sides heal at least somewhat, but
Pratt knows many would like to see him dead including Brady’s parents, Martha
and Frank Resnick. Milano agrees to be there as his bodyguard in in Redemption:
A Noah Milano Novelette.
Also part of this e-book is an excerpt from Triage:
A Thriller (Shell Series) as well as synopses for several other Noah
Milano series books.
A good compact story, the novelette is very focused
on the case with little of Milano’s personal life. While the results of the
initial set up are predictable, the rest of the read is not as it blends action,
detective work, and twists in a page turning story. Action and detective work
at a fast pace was also present in The Death Business: A Noah Milano Novella
though in that book readers do get a little more of the background of security
specialist Noah Milano. Like that book this read is another good one for fans
of hardboiled pulp style stories.
