In the depths of corruption and tyranny, one man's quest begins... Get ready for a heart-pounding ride through the dark underbelly of America in Patrick H. Moore's latest Nick Crane thriller, Giant Steps. As the third and final installment in Moore's gripping Nick Crane versus The Principals trilogy, Giant Steps finds veteran LA PI Nick Crane locked in a life-or-death struggle with the ruthless Marguerite Ferguson and her cabal of aristocratic "super patriots." Nine years after he and his team liquidated Frank Constantine, a murderous military shrink and close personal friend of Marguerite Ferguson and The Principals, Nick Crane is hiding out on the edge of the Mojave Desert. He has been fighting for his life for a year now, barely escaping Marguerite's vendetta at every turn. Now, he and FBI Special Agent Carrie North decide the time has come to turns the tables. They decide infiltrate to the very heart of Marguerite's evil empire. Crane summons his crew of crackerjack operatives and together they devise a diabolically clever sting operation designed to bring Marguerite to her knees once and for all. Set largely in current-day Southern California, Crane and his team of freedom fighters represent all common, decent Americans who truly believe in "liberty and justice for all." Blessed with dry wit and unimpeachable courage, Crane and his crew embark on a relentless quest for truth in the face of corruption and betrayal, even as they fight for their life and freedom in a landscape where only the brave dare to challenge the powers striving to destroy America. Packed with engaging characters, relentless action, and razor-sharp dialogue, Giant Steps is a scintillating sequel that builds on the momentum of its predecessors, Rogues & Patriots and 27 Days. Critical Acclaim for Giant Steps: "In this third installment of the series, Nick Crane and his freedom fighters continue their battle against a group of so-called 'super patriots' known as The Principals. A story for our times, the book resonates in today's political climate. Moore entertains with his clever prose, while giving us something to think about. A great addition to an excellent set of thrillers." -Joel W. Barrows, bestselling author of the Deep Cover series "L.A. PI Nick Crane is back, along with his partner, FBI Special Agent Carrie North, in Giant Steps , the final installment of their three-volume battle against the forces of evil, personified by the despicable Marguerite Ferguson and her lethal band of 'super patriots'. Patrick H. Moore's prose is electric, pulsing with rat-a-tat jack-hammer energy, that spits out words like bullets. Warning: hang on tight for the ride of your life!" -Charles Salzberg, Shamus Award nominated author of Canary in the Coal Mine and Second Story Man
