About the book

About One Thousand Miles Under Gunpoint

Zach Rebackoff's suspense novel, ONE THOUSAND MILES UNDER GUNPOINT, embeds readers into the crude elements within Brooklyn's legendary Brighton Beach neighborhood, the story's cloak-and-dagger backdrop, and perhaps the New York City's most unscrupulous district--the clandestine headquarters for the novel's antagonist, The King of Brighton Beach, Boris Smirnoff--aka KBB, The stone-cold Russian mafia boss of the sleepless city, and his carjacked captive, the innocent twenty-nine-year-old Ashkenazi taxi driver Benjamin Hoffman, offers bibliophiles a fear-inducing ride of perpetual suspense. The convincing dialogue is a prelude for KBB's ultimate agenda: commit what he believes is a long overdue murder (or two if he's lucky) and afterward convert his purloined stash into a $12 million windfall. The volatile KBB and his captive Benjy--under gunpoint, with his left hand cable tied to the steering wheel--deal suspense lovers more than hairpin curves during the tension-filled transport. As the duo navigates to Chicago, the tight timeframe and unsuspecting snags deliver sweeping curves and unsuspecting fastballs, careening through your imagination, high and inside! The frantic car ride to the Windy City is not without unanticipated consequences. In addition to vivid and descriptive prose, suspense cravers will be inside in the heads and hearts of those that readers will come to sympathize with and feel deeply about, and perhaps even a touch of compassion for KBB. With life-threatening high stakes, devoid of the proverbial question of "whodunit," the gripping narrative ensures your fingers will be itching to turn or swipe. The snags, chapter after chapter, are multi-faceted; what will they do next, their veritable plan, and how it all will end. Tumbling dominoes affect each character, whether they're hundreds of miles apart or within close firing range. ONE THOUSAND MILES UNDER GUNPOINT is unpredictable, right up until the final page, including the very last sentence! And a sequel, THERE'S EARTH IN HEAVEN, is underway.
