    About this series

    ** The acclaimed Christian satirical thriller makes its eBook debut! **

    IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD--WHICH COULD BE A PROBLEM...

    Mark Hogan has it all. The job. The family. A position on the board at church. All he’s missing is a boat. Not just any boat--a 2008 Bayliner 192.

    When Reverend Daniel Glory announces that the Rapture is taking place on October 17 at 5:51am, Hogan realizes his boat--buying days are numbered. So he does what any man in his situation would do--he borrows a load of money from the mob.

    Not that there’s any risk involved: After all, when the Rapture comes, Hogan will be long gone. The mob will never find him.

    But when Jesus fails to come back on schedule, Mark Hogan finds the mob is in no mood to discuss the finer points of end-times theology...

      A hit man is haunted by a preacher's dying words: "I forgive you." Forgiving Solomon Long is a page-turning thriller that combines the drama of King Lear and The Godfather with the adrenaline rush of an action epic directed by John Woo. Crime boss Frank "Fat Cat" Catalano has dreams of building a legacy in Kansas City--but a coalition of local store owners and clergy have banded together to try to break his stranglehold. Detective Tom Griggs is determined to bring Fat Cat down, no matter what the cost. Even if that cost is neglecting--and losing--his own wife. Hit man Solomon Long is flown in from the coast to make sure the locals get the message from Fat Cat. But when one of his kills goes awry, his whole world comes crashing down... What the reviewers say: “Well’s fresh voice makes this an enjoyable addition to faith fiction.” —Publishers Weekly “Filled with ironic twists and turns.” —RT Book Reviews “An intelligent thriller.” —Christian Book Previews “A story of forgiveness wrapped up in an exciting thriller.” —Armchair Interviews “Excellent work.” —Christian Fiction Review Forgiving Solomon Long was picked one of the Top 10 Christian Novels of 2005 by Booklist (American Library Association)
