Chaingang and one of the worst around

The book takes place in Missouri, where a Nazi war criminal has managed to disappear into America and has been in hiding since the second world war, in the community he's a respected physician and secretly indulges in his murderous pleasure without anyone the wiser. In this community lives one of Chaingang's former platoon members Ray Miera, now a farmer and arms dealer who is trying to navigate his criminal career and civilian persona. He meets a beautiful and intelligent Jewess named Sharon Kamen whose father a rabbi who tracks Nazi criminals and went to the town to confront the international criminal and goes missing. Ray falls in love with her, and after sleeping with her believes that he's found the woman of his dreams. Even more so when he's confronted by his former platoon mate Chaingang for weapons finds a diamond ring, and believes that its fate for he and her to marry. In the end it takes the giant, genius, murderous behemoth to kill the mad doctor. This was the last in the series, with Miller leaving it a cliff hanger of what happened to the main character. But hopefully not the last.

Please don't tell me it's the last one!

Well, needless to say, I'm a huge Rex Miller fan! I read the first in the series, Slob, and I've been hooked!Rex Miller creates the ultimate bad guy who really evolves throughout the series. By the time you get to Butcher, you find yourself actually cheering Danny boy!The style and atmosphere created by Mr Miller is nothing short of riveting. I would reccomend that you start with Slob and work your way to Butcher. You won't be sorry.Mr Miller, please don't let this be the end!
