~War hero, personal trainer, lover, avenger, loving brother. Will the real Mark Tanner stand up?~
Mark Tanner, a wise-cracking, disillusioned U.S. veteran and casualty of the War on Terror in Afghanistan, whiles his time away in a sleazy trailer park surrounded by a cast of eccentric misfits. After losing a bet with his long time Army buddy, Bear, Mark begrudgingly agrees to be the personal trainer of the young tennis prodigy, Brooke Wentworth. When Brooke mysteriously disappears, apparently because of something in her past, Mark spares no effort and no person in his endeavours to find her. Mark must try to put aside his own demons while he tries to navigate his way through the lies and deceit to the awful and tragic truth behind her kidnapping.
Ably assisted by Bear, he cuts a swathe through both the criminal and tennis worlds. Mark, with acerbic wit and devil-may-care attitude, treats tennis players, white-supremacists, cops and crime bosses with equal amounts of disdain and disregard. In an explosive finale, his tortured past catches up with the events of the present.
Killpoint is an exciting thriller with many gripping action scenes and unexpected twists and turns as Mark delves into Brooke’s disappearance with his inimitable, sardonic humour. It also is the story of soldiers returning from war and coping with a society that now seems superficial and spurious. On another level, it is also a story of the inter-connectedness of people and the randomness of fate in deciding the path of people’s lives. Yet ultimately, the story is about friendship, loyalty and love, and the lengths one man will go to protect and honour his own.
