Customer Reviews

Thank God He's On Our Side

What a book! Stop reading this review and go purchase a copy. One of the most compelling -- can't put down book that I've ever read. Ballentine makes you feel like you are sitting with him as he recounts his experiences as an under-cover police officer. Some books tend to drag out to long, not so with Murder for Hire. This is a real page turner, absolutely perfect for the beach or airplane. Easy to read and some very gripping stories. Jack -- best wishes to you and your lovely family (with whom I feel as I if I already know). Make it 10 Stars for Murder for Hire.

Can't put it down....

This is a well written book. You feel like youre in the passenger seat the shole time. I couldn't stop reading until I finished the last sentence.

Murder For Hire

Incredible book, incredible man. Well written and takes you into the life Jack lived, as if you were a part of his undercover team. The principles Jack lived by should be everyone's goal in life. Well done Jack!

Hard to put down

I have been looking forward to the release of this book for 7 months. I had a hard time putting it down. Because life is so busy and this book is so good, I actually took a vacation day to finish it! My daughter was able to swim while I lay by the pool reading about the grungy undercover work of a hitman. I loved the balance of grittiness with the underlying love story. Something for everyone.
