    The Misadventures of Max Bowman Series

    By Joel Canfield

    ()

    About this series

    For almost a year, Max Bowman has been locked away in the Community — a "retirement" home for former CIA spooks with secrets too scary to share with the world, where the residents are drugged into obliviousness and kept content with reruns of Bonanza and The Beverly Hillbillies.

    But then after a daring escape, Max is back — or, at least, what's left of him. He's lost his love, his home, his money and most of his memories. And the only way to get any of them back is by taking on a crooked lobbyist whose menace is almost as big as his stomach. This creep is selling white supremacy — and his ancient donors are more than willing to dive into that particular gene pool.

    Max is truly on the highway to hell — with Mar-a-Lago serving as a rest stop along the way.

      Max Bowman is a hero for today's America — mostly because he has absolutely no idea what he's doing. Years after being tossed on the trash heap by the CIA, Max is just getting by — and fine with it. Who cares if his future is in the rearview mirror? As long as he's got a Jack Daniels in his hand and his creatively-foul-mouthed singer girlfriend on his arm, why shake things up? Then his old Agency boss shows up with a job that's way above his paygrade — tracking down the truth about a war hero who was killed in Afghanistan. Because some people think this dead man isn't so dead. Max treats it as a paycheck and a big fat waste of time. Until that house explodes. And a guy who looks a lot like the hero of a popular '60s TV Western puts a target on his forehead. Oh, and then there's that secret para-military outfit in Montana, which wants to end his assignment in the most unpleasant way possible. It all happens in DARK SKY, a sardonic spin on the traditional thriller and the beginning of Max Bowman's hilarious and harrowing misadventures.

      Max Bowman is looking for a superhero. Okay, to be more accurate, the creator of that superhero, a mysterious comic book legend who's disappeared from the face of the earth. Quicker than you can say "Shazam," Max is in over his head and out of his mind, thanks to a secretly administered dose of Blue Fire, an all-powerful, government-designed psychedelic drug. But he's not hallucinating any of the weirdness that keeps cropping up—not the zombies on the Upper East Side, not the self-improvement cult run by a clueless pawn, not the hipster assassin who knows her way around a sword, and certainly not the Cold War-era CIA spook program that's gone underground…and is somehow still operational. Still, his greatest challenge may not be any of the above menaces. It just might be his neurotic new rescue dog, who absolutely refuses to let Max out of her sight.

      Max Bowman has female problems. Specifically, three beautiful, rich daughters of three powerful and influential men—all of them with their own secret agendas. Unfortunately, Max doesn't know which one to trust or which way to turn, because a vicious killer is hot on his heels. And the most perplexing thing about this psychopath is that he isn't after Max himself—but everyone he knows and loves. From New York City to Miami, from Washington D.C. to Sedona, Arizona, Max is on the run.   And that's not easy when you have two broken toes.
