Summary: Hold on to your seat thrill ride!
Review: After reading DEAD RECKONING, I can say that it's a non-stop on the edge of your seat ride as Sheriff Taggert hunts down the killer of his beloved wife. From the first chapter, where we are introduced to Taggert's tenacity and single minded determination in hunting down the Vietnamese troups that killed his best friend, Bobby, to the final surprising ending your heart will be racing and you'll be on your feet cheering for the good guys. Definitely a book to be bought and savoured on a day (YES! ONE day) that you have no other plans. I couldn't put it down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A BLOODY DAGGER AWARD WINNER
Review: Awards were just announced and this one won in the Thriller-Horror category. I have read it twice and while some find the action too violent and bloody, I found it to be a very fast page turner. Revenge sought by the local sherriff against the intentional killing of Jimmy Taggert's wife during a bank holdup is the central plot. But the killer, Baker, is a vicious mean spirited man who will stop at nothing to kill anyone who gets in his way. Expending his forces to escape with the money and rescue a prisoner from Attica State Prison, Baker leaves a bloody trail behind him, unmindful of thesorrow he is causing others. The action leads to the Peace Bridge between Buffalo and Canada where Baker plans to trap our President and the head of the Canada with innocent people gathered for a ceremony rededicating peace between the two countries. People are tossed into the Niagara River to be swept over the Falls of the mighty Niagara. Ony one 12 year old boy went over the Falls unprotected by a barrell and lived to tell about it.Taggert uses all his strength and wits to abort Baker's plans. While some people will think this is more of a man's book to read, I find that women have enjoyed it too.Congratulations, Mr Furlani....please bring us more!

Summary: Thrilling Action from Beginning to End!
Review: I normally don't care that much for action books but this book was great! It had a little bit of everything for everybody. There was a little war action, some prison action, some robbery action, bombs and more! Everything you could ask for! This would make a wonderful movie. Very descriptive and thrilling to the very end.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: More (than 5) stars need for Dead Reckoning
Review: Suspense/crime readers read DEAD RECKONING as soon as you can get it in your hands, HOWEVER, understand that once you start reading you will return to the next page in spite of all else that needs to be done in your life. Chapter 1, which is more a prologue, establishes the character of Jimmy Taggert when his best friend Bobby Ryan is killed in the jungles of Viet Nam.

Jimmy extracts his revenge on the Vietnamese troops who killed his friend and returns to Darien his hometown near Niagra Falls to marry his highschool sweetheart and become Sheriff of his town.

A bank robbery in Darien introduces the reader to Michael Baker, a more deadly serial killer than fact or ficton has produced thus far. The suspense escalates through each attempt to stop Baker. An FBI agent, Mitchell Cory, and Jimmy Taggert work together without the usual rancor of the FBI v. local law enforcement to become friends and eventually to stop Baker. There is a susprise ending that adds to the finale. The last sentence in the book, "This should make for quite an interesting morning," is the only understatement in the book.

Buy it; read it ! I'm going to look for Fulani's first book and read it as I hope that a third is on the way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: NOMINATED FOR BLOODY DAGGER AWARD
Review: This book has been nominated for the Bloody Dagger award and itearns it by the rip-roaring actionpacked in almost every page. Ijust read it again and it's evenbetter the second time around.The author is featured in this month's issue of The Third Degreemagazine, formerly known as Judas,It is on-line issue of Bumpin Guns. DR deserves all acclaim forfast action, thriller-suspensefans. The book is not fluffed upby tiresome descriptions of theimmediate surroundings. It takesplace in the beautiful area aroundBuffalo, The Peace Bridge and downthe Niagara River to the Falls, but your mind is on the action asJimmy Taggart, sheriff, chases down the notorious Baker and hisgang are killed. But is Bakerreally dead? A coming sequel toDR will tell the tale so you wantto read this book now and be readyfor more this fall. You are in forsome of the best reading out thereso hold on for the ride of a lifetime
