Mike Shannon
"Gateway to Hell"
Introducing St. Louis' most wanted Private Investigator
Mike Shannon, the St. Louis’ private investigator who has made a career out of solving the cases the police couldn't or wouldn’t take, has killed more men then he cares to remember and it’s beginning to take its toll on him. Tracking down a runaway should have been an easy case, that is, until Shannon finds cocaine stolen from the police department’s evidence room, hidden in the girl’s bedroom. Things gets complicated when Shannon discovers his ex-partner, Detective Steve Holland, is linked to the runaway and missing drugs. Before Shannon can confront his friend, Holland is gunned down, execution style, his body dumped on the steps of City Hall. His investigation of the runaway and Holland’s brutal murder plunges him into a world of police corruption and a major international drug trafficking scheme, where he comes face to face with his ex-wife’s new lover, a shadow government and “the Sandman”, a rogue CIA hitman, who has resurfaced from Shannon’s past. In all the confusion, Shannon is sure of one thing, he’s not done killing yet.
"Shannon wades through police corruption on the trail of a runaway and comes face to face with a rogue CIA hit man from his past..."
"He glanced at the face of the stranger in the mirror. A face hardened by life, lined with pain; battered eyebrows, scarred in countless forgotten brawls, the eyes stared back at him, eyes that had seen too much, too much violence, too much death. And yet, he knew that there was more to come, more than anyone should have to bear."
As Shannon's two worlds collide, bodies begin to litter the streets of St. Louis, the trail of blood ending at the Arch, the Gateway to Hell.
"If you like action, if you like tough detectives fighting their way out of tough situations, you’re going to love Mike Shannon and The Gateway to Hell." Pacific Book Review
