I just finished this thriller book Beware the Aband....I could not stop reading last night but went to bed by 4 a.m. I just finished it. What a great book. You really have done your research and it is almost scary how much you know and how you planned his escape. PLEASE, PLEASE, I need a second book. We now need to know how John C. is going to carry on in Paris.....Sabina P."Beware The Abandoned, a good read When I first started the book I thought I would take advantage of the short chapters and read a little at a time, but once I got in to it, I couldn't put it down and finished it in a couple of days."...Don F. This is an action packed story about John Cross, an abandoned child who was fighting for survival on the mean streets of Los Angeles, when The Sanctuary (a capitalist, non religious sect) selected him to be trained to accumulate great wealth. They search the world slums for the brightest and and most creative orphans. John's financial success allows the sect to search for more abandoned children to grow their wealth. How John Cross realizes this wealth is of no concern to The Sanctuary. What is critical to them, is keeping their money maker ahead of his pursuers - the mob and the FBI. The murders in France, Nevada and Delaware were just John Cross' removal of obstacles in the path to wealth. Will his latest romantic interest also become an obstacle? The FBI and the mob are closing in fast on his hideaway in a small beach town on the Delaware coast.
