Thunder Storme (Wyatt Storme)

Former NFL All-Pro Wyatt Storme and ex-CIA assassin Chick Easton are fishing on the Lake of the Ozarks when gunmen blow by them in a boat, chasing a determined woman seeking justice for her family. Wyatt and Chick save the woman and are swept into a violent battle for control of a new casino and all the riches and power it will bring. The Kansas City mob, the Dixie Mafia and the local syndicate have them out-numbered and out-gunned but it's the gangsters who should be worried. There's a deadly storm coming...and his name is Wyatt.

"The perfect storm of witty banter, clever action, and compelling mystery." Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times bestselling author of Robert B. Parker's Jesse Stone series.

"Ripley once again delivers sustained suspense, a corkscrew plot, and a plethora of evil-doers, in a perfectly executed thriller." William H. Lovejoy, author of Trigger Happy

"With a boom of thunder and lightning, Wyatt Storme is back again, as electric and glowing with energy as W.L. Ripley always makes him." Gerald Duff, author of Memphis Ribs

"WL Ripley is a fantastic storyteller, and Thunder Storme proves the point. And Ripley does it with a style reminiscent of the derring-do of the classic Travis McGee novels: smart, sassy, hilarious--and deadly. Wyatt Storme is that one-in-a-million tough guy with a brain, part philosopher, part enforcer, always on the right side of justice. Storme and Chick Easton may be the best duo since Riggs and Murtaugh--maybe since Butch and Sundance. With relentless action and crackling dialogue, Thunder Storme comes at you full-force." Phillip Thompson, author of Outside the Law

Praise for the Wyatt Storme series:

"Storme is one of my all-time favorite series characters, up there with Spenser and Dave Robicheaux," Ace Atkins, New York Times bestselling author of the Robert B. Parker's Spenser series.

"Wyatt and Chick deserve billing just below Parker's Spenser and Hawk and Crais' Elvis Cole and Joe Pike." Booklist

"Here's one for the boys who love to kick butt. Storme has the catlike moves of the early Spenser." Kirkus Reviews

"For those of us who still feel an ache for the immortal John D. MacDonald." Tampa Tribune
