LUCAS STONE IS BACK IN ANOTHER INSANELY ACTION-PACKED ADVENTURE FROM BEST-SELLING AUTHOR MARK ALLEN!

Things get hot in Whisper Falls when a string of arsons sets the town on edge. When the latest fire causes the death of a beloved citizen and all signs point to the husband, Garrison County becomes a powder keg ready to blow. Lucas Stone, a former black ops specialist who is now the sheriff, knows that he needs to get to the bottom of things before his quiet town is filled with nothing but flames and death.

Then a local girl is burned alive and all hell breaks loose. Who is behind the killing? Why did they target an innocent kid? When another girl is abducted, the countdown is on to save her life before she, too, meets a horrific, fiery end.

Stone will move heaven and earth to find her. Because when law and order go up in smoke, the only thing that remains is primal justice.

Mark Allen specializes in tough, hard-hitting fiction that slams you like a bullet in the face.

His action novel "The Assassin's Prayer" was optioned by Showtime. His horror script "Gristle"--now a gritty horror novel--was a semi-finalist in the prestigious 2010 Slamdance Screenplay Competition where it was called "a perfect blend of high drama and blood-and-guts slasher horror."

Allen currently lives in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York with a wife he loves, two daughters he adores, a pair of cats he hates with every fiber of his being, and enough ammunition to ensure he is never bothered by door-to-door salesmen.

Allen spins a thriller from the cold reaches of Northern NY.
I found Allen when he was co-writing a “John Kane Thriller” with one of my favorite authors Brent Towns.. Now I’m “following” both writers and enjoying a torrent of great action packed pages of intrigue. Samaritan is well paced with multiple plot turns. Not as much action as Allen’s first offering, but more compelling from a mystery point of view. I’ve already acquired Killing Creed, the synopsis sounds like the heavy action returns. I’m sure I’ll be looking for further efforts from Mark Allen.

Well-written with good, if predictble, plot. Characters are a continuation of book one, so start there. Little disappointing that Holly did not have her Springfield. Vince's story was a sad one. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Justice is not always served by the law
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2023

I like Lucas Stones character a man who understands that you do not always get Justice when the law is applied. Sometimes justice has to come from the primal and Lucas stone is pretty good at delivering it. This second story had an interesting set of bad people. Especially the head lady psychopath who was only slightly less evil than her henchman. Good ending in this story though. Two people found each other and I suspect that they will be back in book 3. A strong man needs a strong woman as a companion and I think Lucas has found one. It happens a lot easier in the fictional world and in the real world.

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2023

This is sort of a mix between an old Glenn Ford movie like "Heaven with a Gun" and a more modern blood-thirsty vigilante novel. Supposedly the main character tries to balance his Christian teachings with his blood-thirsty urges, but the urges always win easily, even though he then justifies it all with the idea that it is justice vs law. There is lots of internal waffling about this but it is hard to feel the character is being genuine about this as his "darkness" is really the core of who he is.

Plot is simple. Bad guys are totally bad and feral and the Sheriff obeys the law until someone's life is at stake and then he is determined to do whatever it takes. He tells one bad guy he will do things to him that would make the devil vomit. All leads up to a showdown where the sheriff has decided he must kill the bad guys and so does not call for backup for goes after the bad guy on his own and commits a horrible crime. But it is all glosses over as the people all get together at the end and everything is justified by the love they feel for one another.

I understand why many readers enjoy this. Most all of us believe bad guys get off too easily these days. I like the main characters and am enjoying watching the main love interest unfold, along with the sheriff's real interest in understanding and becoming attached to the main woman's young daughter, who reminds him of his deceased daughter.

At least this book pretends to think about the issue of unleashing such violence, unlike so many other books these days that just celebrate extreme violence and glorify it.

I'll read the next one, and it is always good to see the good guys win. But the bloodshed and the "high" the violence gives people is a little disturbing.

Powerful. I mean for real. This book hits on parts of the soul, making the reader ponder, "What would I do," and thinking there must be men and women on the pulpit and wearing a badge just like the character Lucas Stone. Bad Samaritan is the second installment in the Lucas Stone series, and I hope readers are blessed with many more books 📚 🙏 regaling the kind of primal justice that Lucas Stone dishes out. Amen

Good action, mystery murder book to read. It is easy to read and hard to figure out. The story is surprising regarding Stone when he confronts himself as a preacher and ex-military killer. I like books that have action plus mystery, and you feel for the main character in how he is torn within himself between the righteousness and evil of this world.

Reviewed in India on April 8, 2023

The first book of the series, Fury Divine, boasted a thrilling and intense action-packed storyline, and although it wasn't specifically categorized as a murder mystery, there was an underlying sense of suspense regarding the motives and actions of the antagonists. However, the sequel, "Bad Samaritan," doesn't quite live up to the same standard. The reader is immediately introduced to the villain's identity, as well as their motivations and secrets, thereby removing any anticipation or excitement in discovering these elements as the story unfolds. Furthermore, the level of action in the book is noticeably diminished compared to the first installment, which could leave readers who enjoyed the fast-paced nature of the first book feeling underwhelmed. I hope that the next book in the series will be an improvement over this one.

When a fire takes the life of a parishioner of Lucas Stone's community, a strong supporter of his, the first suspect is the husband. But soon there are more fires and all leads point to meth addicts and producers. The sheriff is more in demand now than the preacher. When the best friend of Lizzy, daughter of Lucas' best friend Holly, is burnt alive, things take an even more violent turn in Whisper Falls and Lucas goes on a rampage of primal justice. The second page-turner in this new series by Mark Allen. I'm looking forward to the next adventures.

Lots of evil, heartless villains in this book, enough to make the reader cringe. Fortunately, there's a lot of characters that are able to show humanity isn't lost. A very well written adventure that keeps the reader under it's spell from the start to the finish. Great story.
