Description

STEPHEN KING ON CHRISTOPHER SMITH: "Put me down as an enthusiastic Christopher Smith fan. Smith is a cultural genius."

From the #1 International Best-selling author of "Fifth Avenue" comes Smith's best thriller yet!

Description: A billionaire investor dealt a grisly death.The suspects? Six of his seven children, all so desperate for their father's money, they'd kill for it.

His seventh child, Camille, a former assassin who left that life behind to raise her now sixteen-year-old daughter Emma, must tap into old instincts to learn who killed her father and why. What she never sees coming are Emma's plans to go into Manhattan and find out on her own.

Meanwhile, Camille must be found. Private investigator Marty Spellman is threatened by a mysterious man to find her. He has seventy-two hours or do so--or members of his own family die.

Over the course of one day, Spellman, Camille, Emma, and Spellman's own fifteen-year-old daughter, Beth, must intervene to finish this and shut it down. Twists abound. Few are who they appear to be. Soon, all parties are in a rush to violence, but despite how quickly they act, it's clear that no one is safe.
READ WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING ABOUT THE FIFTH AVENUE SERIES:

"UNPUTDOWNABLE! You have to face it: Christopher Smith is one hell of a storyteller! A Rush to Violence is a fine thriller in every respect! The author's timing is perfect, resulting in scene after scene of unputdownable reading. Smith's attention to detail makes his story literally jump off the page. His writing and timing are so good that you don't even know you are holding your breath until it is time to hold it again!" Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"CHRISTOPHER SMITH JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER! Well, Christopher Smith has raised the bar yet again. With "A Rush To Violence ", the Spellman saga unloads double-barrelled, hard-hitting action from the very first chapter. Smith doesn't hold anything back, resulting in an immersive experience. There are no fluffy, unnecessary descriptive ramblings-just unrelenting action and suspense! There is no such thing as a "slow burn " here...the fuse is burning, and the powder keg looms not far off! FIVE STARS! THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING THRILLER! Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"REVENGE PROVES CHRISTOPHER SMITH IS THE BEST!!!! The Fifth Avenue Series is amazing. I have read them all and look forward to more. Many twists and unexpected turns throughout. EXCELLENT READ, HARD TO PUT DOWN! I had to re-charge my Kindle as I was reading because I couldn't wait. This book gave me chills. Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK! I am a huge fan of Dan Brown and John Grisham-and I would easily put Christopher Smith in their league. HE IS THAT GOOD! The amount of thought and detail in his books is amazing. I had a hard time putting this book down. I was often sleep-deprived at work because I kept saying, "Just one more chapter..." SMITH'S BOOKS ARE THOSE KINDS OF BOOKS!!" Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"ENTHRALLING!!! Smith knocked it way out of the park. EXCELLENT READ!!! I would never have guessed the ending. Wow! Loved it!" NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"WHAT A BOOK!! AND WHAT AN EXCELLENT STORY! I couldn't put it down. Read like crazy - waiting for each exciting twist and turn. Smith never disappoints; in fact, he makes you so connected to the characters that the many twists throw you for a loop. You don't know who you are pulling for because Smith pulls the rug out from under you when you least expect it. You finish a chapter and think DID HE REALLY JUST DO THAT? SMITH MAKES SOME OF TODAY'S WELL-KNOWN GREATS FAIL IN COMPARISON!!" Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
