Reciprocity

"RECIPROCITY asks the reader to ponder the morality of darkness," writes author Mathieu Cailler about this debut novel from award-winning short-story writer T.D. Johnston. When a third Mafia boss in a third major city is murdered by an unknown entity, FBI organized-crime agents Jack Hanratty and Neville Parker are assigned to lead the national investigation of what the media dubs 'The Godfather Assassinations.' As the cabal continues to eliminate the leadership of the powerful Mafia, La Cosa Nostra's ruling 'Commission' responds by importing Fingo, the legendary Sicilian mercenary, to track down the killers. When Fingo kidnaps Agent Hanratty's pregnant wife, Jack faces an impossible ransom request: to save Rachel's life, Jack and Neville must deliver the Godfather Assassins to Fingo rather than arrest the vigilantes. Jack and Neville race against time and two formidable enemies toward an epic showdown between justice and injustice, colored by the gray area that complicates human decisions.

"RECIPROCITY is a thrilling chase, at once a page-turner and a morality tale. What a ride!" -Gregg Cusick, author of MY FATHER MOVES THROUGH TIME LIKE A DIRIGIBLE

"The pages turn at paper-cutting speed in this absorbing and addictive novel. Johnston is a daring writer of supreme importance." -Mathieu Cailler, author of LOSS ANGELES

"T. D. Johnston, the award-winning modern master of short fiction, has delivered a knock-out punch with his debut novel, RECIPROCITY. Crackling with the urgency of today's headlines, he digs deep along the fault lines of what we call 'justice.' His is a world where the shadows play, and what is whispered and unseen haunts along the margins of power. It reads like the very best of Johnston's short stories-sprints, simmering with suspense and surprise-but RECIPROCITY now goes the full distance, and we are all the richer for it. Buckle up for one terrific ride!"--John MacIlroy, author of NOT EXACTLY ROCKET SCIENTISTS

"The Mafia, the FBI, a Sicilian hit man, the kidnapped wife of a lead FBI investigator, a killer murdering Mafia bosses-T.D. Johnston's RECIPROCITY is a wild roller-coaster ride filled with suspense, surprise, passion, hate, and love. A must-read!" -John Engell, Author, Professor Emeritus of English and Comparative Literature, San Jose State University
