I went through the same thing, Reader#9, except that I found it at a Borders and read it at home. My only regret is that I read it so quickly and now all I have is that empty feeling I get after reading a book and knowing I have nothing else as fun and gripping on my bookstand. Great read.

I was skeptical, especially since couldn’t find any of Wallace Stroby’s books at my local library, but then I found A Cold Shot To The Heart at Barnes and Noble. I read the first chapter in line while waiting in line at Starbucks. (Yes, it was a long line and I must have been yelled at about 50 times to move forward. LOL.) Once I got my caffeine, I forgot about my many errands and sat down to read at least another chapter or two. Two turned into five and then ten and on and on. I finished it! It was great! Crissa Stone an awesome character and I really get the Parker comparison. I hope Stroby makes a series out of this. Good call, Mr. Edwards!

Love the Parker novels!! I might have mentioned on this site before, I actually had a librarian threaten to scratch my eyes out when she saw me holding one she hadn’t read. Told me she would be VERY ANGRY if I didn’t return it on time. I also went to a used book store hoping to pick up a couple titles. They laughed at me and said that even if they had a copy of any of the volumes, I wouldn’t be able to afford it. There are some seriously rabid fans out there. And I happen to be one of them.

I’ll pick up a copy of A Cold Shot To The Heart, Mr. Edwards, and get back to you regarding your claim that Stroby’s novel can hold up against Stark’s Parker novels.
