Kingdom Come
AN AMBITIOUS WIFE.A THIRST FOR POWER. A CHANCE TO HAVE IT ALL. "I never thought I could kill anyone. I don't mean in a rage, or in self-defense, or in a war. I mean killing someone to get what you want. That wasn't me. But even the best of us has that bad side." How far would you go for unlimited wealth and power? For Thane Coder, a shot at running one of the richest, most influential corporations in America was an opportunity he couldn't pass up. And with his seductive, savvy wife, Jessica, showing him the way, his fate was decided. All it took was a back door, a snowy night, and an old hunting knife to unlock more money than Thane could ever imagine. After he murders his boss, mentor, and friend James King, Thane and Jessica leap into a life of corporate jets and tropical hideaways—a world of infinite luxury and privilege. But when King's son surfaces with suspicion and revenge on his mind, the Coders' empire begins to crumble. Once an everyday American couple with a mortgage and weekend soccer games, they're now entering a twisted maze filled with federal agents, the Mafia, a son hell-bent on vengeance, and a relentless, old-fashioned tracker willing to follow this husband and wife to the ends of the earth to take them down. In KINGDOM COME, boardrooms become hunting grounds, handshakes become blood oaths, and even the people you hold closest to you—your family—become suspect. Set against the rugged backdrop of his native upstate New York and the gritty streets of Manhattan, this is Tim Green at his best, writing hard-hitting, vivid prose about how a few deadly sins can lead any one of us down a bloody path.

Praise"I sacrificed—quite willingly—a beautiful spring Sunday afternoon on the altar of KINGDOM COME, Tim Green's latest and perhaps penultimate novel. Green has always been a competent and constantly improving wordsmith, but nothing he has done before has foreshadowed the addictive readability of this work... Green's pacing is exquisite, particularly in the latter half of the novel, wherein the pending doom is held at bay even as it dips and swirls in and out of the story. Green also infuses the climax with a fine and just symmetry that is not revealed until the very end, thus leaving the reader satisfied at precisely the right moment. Whether you are a longtime reader of Green's work or have never read him before, KINGDOM COME is an imperative addition to your must-read list. Highly recommended." —Joe Hartlaub, BookReporter.com (read the full review) "KINGDOM COME is well worth your time.... kudos to the author for trying something a little unusual with the thriller format." —Sharon Wheeler, ReviewingTheEvidence.com "The suspense... is spine chilling and the terror bone shaking... Tim Green is back with a bang!, proving that he truly is a king of the suspense thriller." —RebeccasReads.com "Set in a corporate world, whose corruption is all too familiar from the daily news, KINGDOM COME makes a fascinating psychological study of personality flaws —greed, jealousy and passion—catalysed into something much darker." —BookLoons.com "Tim Green's fans will enjoy his latest action-packed crime caper." —Harriet Klausner "Fans of Shakespeare will recognize Green's story as a clever updating of MacBeth, the Bard's iconic tragedy of unbridled ambition, murder for a kingdom (here a commercial one), and the consequences. What Green sacrifices in originality, he makes up for with page-turning pacing, taut dialogue, and a few well-placed twists." —Military.com  |
