For all intents and purposes, Lyle Hardgrave is a bad guy. Although he is a skilled hitman, he wants to leave that life after falling in love with Cora.
In Killer Redemption, author B.D. Lawrence delivers a storyline featuring a man wanted by both the mob (his employer) and the FBI. Hardgrave, who has a penchant for poetry, wants an escape plan complete with a happily ever after.
The tension builds as Cora becomes a target, threatening Hardgrave’s plans for the future. It’s a race against time to determine whether redemption is possible.
While the story’s premise was interesting, it was challenging to follow the storyline. It needed more detail to create a foundation before the action started. As a reader, it left me feeling like I had missed several chapters. I wanted to know more about the man behind the gun. On another note, the descriptive language used throughout the story successfully brings to mind a B-rated Sopranos-type vibe.
Killer Redemption tells the story of a man willing to trade a life of crime for a future full of possibilities. While it doesn’t quite hit the spot for me, it offers a unique opportunity to root for the bad guy.
Favorite superheroes: Batman and The Punisher. Not himself imbued with super powers, he prefers superheroes also handicapped with only human abilities.
Some of his favorite movies: The Outlaw Josey Wales, Man on Fire, and the Star Wars collection. Oridinary people thrust into extraordinary situations. People seeking justice, or is it vengeance, yet finding redemption along the way.
Ironically, B.D. Lawrence’s worst subject in high school was English. But as an adult, sitting in a master’s level computer programming class, daydreaming about vigilantes, he decided to give writing a try. Four unpublished novels later (don’t worry, they’ll be reworked and will surface someday) he’s decided to plunge into the deep abyss of publishing. Well, book publishing anyway.
B.D. Lawrence has published more than twenty-five short stories some time ago in magazines that probably no longer exist. Many of these stories featured the themes of justice, vengeance, and redemption. Many of which will be available on this site, reworked and updated.
The Lefty Bruder novels center around a major worldwide problem that seems to get little press attention. Human Trafficking. Wanting to help in some way, B.D. Lawrence wants to give away half of his profits from Lefty Bruder book sales to organizations that help fight against this scourge.
