Description

A young actress, involuntarily committed to City of Roses Psychiatric Hospital, plunges James Flynn into a dangerous new adventure when she claims one of the most powerful producers in Hollywood is trying to kill her.

Still convinced he's a secret agent for Her Majesty's Secret Service, Flynn springs into action, helps her escape and finds himself embroiled in a battle with a dangerous sociopath worth billions. In the process, he uncovers a high-tech conspiracy to control the mind of every human being on Earth.

With the help of his reluctant sidekick, Sancho, and a forgotten Hollywood sex symbol from the 1960s, Flynn faces off with Goldhammer and his private army in a desperate attempt to save the young actress…and save the world…once again.

"For those readers in search of a farcical book that is intelligently rendered, this is a delightful novel, hilarious and inventive. A wonderfully humorous blend of James Bond and Don Quixote." -Kirkus Reviews

"Goldhammer is highly recommended reading for audiences who enjoy the comedy of The Kingsman, the pathos of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Jason Bourne-style action, all mixed together in a rollicking cocktail. Shaken. Not stirred." -Midwest Book Review

Laughed my sox off!
James Flynn is to James Bond what AIRPLANE! is to disaster movies or Inspector Clouseau to Sonny Crockett ! And is the author related to the Orkin Man?
From the City of Roses Psychiatric Institute to the insanity of Hollywood, James believes that he is a 007 of Her Majesty's Secret Service and has even more escapades than Sir Ian's protagonist (and they are a whole lot funnier). This episode is to rescue a young woman from ... Well, just read it!
I requested and received a free e-book copy from Black Rose Writing via NetGalley. Thank you!
