A Kiss Before the End

Roy Glenn returns with his bestselling Mike Black saga, which has continued to excite readers for two decades.

When a member of his crew is seen in the Bahamas, where he has no business and may be involved in a murder, Carter Garrison looks into the matter. Along the way, he meets Gianna Matisse. She came to Knuckles gambling spot with one of their regulars and had been coming there nightly without him. Carter tells his people that he wants to know everything about her--and not just because she's beautiful. Her being a ghost might represent a threat to The Family.

As The Family prepares to go to war with the Italians, Carter finds out her true intentions. When he agrees to help her, Black cautions him to remember: "Our priority remains the Montanaris."

About the Author
Multi-genre author Roy Glenn is best known as the Master of Urban Suspense for his iconic Mike Black Saga. A three-time AALBC.com Bestselling Author, winner of The Reader Warrior Choice award for Best Male Author and a B.R.A.B award for Best Duo, Roy Glenn always had a very vivid imagination. He began making up stories at a very early age, but his passion for writing those stories didn't come until much later in life. "It began with a thought and after a while, the characters and the story became clear to me and began to play over and over like a movie in my mind."

His first novel, Is It a Crime, became a bestseller and gave birth to the popular character Mike Black. The Black series has spun off two other series, The Reign of Rain Robinson and a look into the past with The Vicious Black Years. Roy was born and raised in the Bronx and currently lives in Jacksonville, Florida, where he is working on the Above The Law series and Boss of The Family for television.
