Thriller

Surviving each day the best way he knows how, mastermind computer hacker/safe cracker Elroy Coffin is serving time in a Texas prison for attempted murder and armed robbery two years after a gunshot to his head scrambled his memory. But each day, a bit more of his past life becomes clearer. It almost drives him crazy when he realizes his wife, as well as his father, are both dead. Now if he can just live long enough to figure out his past and avenge their deaths. Elroy is given that opportunity when the powerfully wealthy Jayne Jenison comes to the prison with a deal to free him if he will agree to do a highly technical job for her. She provides further incentive by telling him his adored wife, Toni, is still alive. Jenison also tells Elroy that her daughter is with Toni, so she wants him to rescue both of them. There's no way Elroy can turn down Jenison. If Elroy thought the violence was horrible in prison, it's nothing compared to what he faces on the outside. He soon finds out his father is alive and working the same job, but what about Toni. Is she alive, or was it just a lie to get him to agree to the job? Every step Elroy takes, every corner he turns, every person he meets provides additional layers of subterfuge to his tortured existence. He doesn't know who to trust with each person being more ruthless than the one before. And it's just going to get worse when he learns the people he's dealing with are willing to go to any lengths to change the world and advance a new resurrection. Stephen Romano makes an explosive debut with RESURRECTION EXPRESS. Strap yourself in for a high-tech adventure in this innovative, cutting-edge thriller with enough diabolical angles and conspiracy theories to please any enthusiast of the genre. A great read!

SUMMARY

A cutting edge storm of white-knuckle action and suspense—the year’s most exciting debut thriller!

Meet Elroy Coffin. He’s a twenty-first century high-tech thief with deadly hands. Trained from his youth to be the best there is at what he does. There is no code he can’t break, nothing he can’t hack, no safe he can’t crack. But even the best can fall. Sold up the river after a job by a depraved Texas mob boss, Coffin has spent the past two years incarcerated in a maximum security hellhole, driven to near-madness by the death of his beloved wife. When a mysterious “concerned citizen” arrives at the prison one morning with evidence that Coffin’s wife is still alive, and offers him the chance to find her in return for cracking the most deadly security system ever designed, Coffin knows something big is going down. Back on the street and relentlessly hunted by the same man who left him to rot in jail, Coffin is drawn into a breakneck maelstrom of action, betrayal and intrigue that will test the limits of his skills, and puts him in the center of a death-defying escape through the criminal underworld. But what he doesn’t know is that the men who hired him are running the deadliest game of all time—an endgame that could spell the death of billions, altering the very course of human history. And Elroy Coffin holds the key to it all.
