From the Publisher
Authors are weighing in on Boston Teran's GOD IS A BULLET
Authors are weighing in -

"Boston Teran writes like an angel, shining a clear light on the deeds of the devil in this hunt-and-chase thriller. GOD IS A BULLET is a stunner of a suspense novel, body-slamming its way down an uncharted rocky terrain of pain, fear, horror, bravery and redemption . . .Teran's voice is fresh, unique and explosive. He has delivered a work that is too good, too important and too painful to be ignored." -- Lorenzo Carcaterra, author of SLEEPERS and APACHES

"GOD IS A BULLET defies description. Nothing I have ever read, nothing, has filled me with the exciting sense of dread and fear I felt while reading this extraordinary first novel. Everything about this book is perfect: the story is astounding, the characters are etched in my brain, the real-time style is riveting, and Teran's dialogue is carved out of granite. It will be a long while before I get this story and these characters out of my head. It is just a terrific experience." --William Diehl, author of REIGN IN HELL and PRIMAL FEAR

"In a word: Wow. GOD IS A BULLET is a shotgun blast to the gut--a kick-a**, in-your-face tour de force from start to finish. Every page carries a fresh wallop and a nightmarish jolt. Boston Teran's haunting words stay with you long after you turn the final page. I'm still stunned." --Harlan Coben, Edgar Award-winning author of FADE AWAY and ONE FALSE MOVE

Customer Reviews

Surprising
At first I thought this book would be a by-the-numbers murder with the standard occult satanic references and throwaway lines. How wrong I was.

The author has avoided the obvious pitfalls and instead brought us a tale of redemption. Not only that, but the main characters really develop through the course of the book. There isn't really that much gruesome detail, rather the depths that some will go to, is shocking.

If you enjoyed titles such as The Straw Men or works by Michael Connelly, then this is well worth picking up.

Brilliant!
THIS BOOK IS AN AMAZING READ, NOT FOR THE WEAK STOMACHED BUT FABULOUS GRAPHIC DETAIL, ENGAGEING AND THOUGHT PROVOKING.

Dark. Just as I like them
Dark. Just as I like them. Even better, it's hard to assign a genre. If it doesn't have an obvious genre then it isn't similar to a bunch of other book. The unfortunate downside being that if you really like it, you are unlikely to find another like it, even from the same author. So, savour this book as much as you can, which is not so easy, as it is a compulsive page turner.

A gripping tale of a savage crime perpetrated by a strange cult, the story shows an upright policeman take a series of believable steps away from his normal behaviour and comfort zone until he is radically removed from everything which he was and held dear in his quest for revenge.

A must read. I really couldn't put it down.
