He was not the demon everyone portrayed him to be, but
rather he was a savior –a messiah—saving souls, and forgiving those who had
failed to protect those they were supposed to protect.
---The Cowboy
Dramatic.
Scary. Thrilling.
Author
Manny Meléndez has written
a dark crime thriller that attracts and repels readers in equal measure, but
keeps them reading. Clichés abound, but the author uses them wisely to quickly
identify villain and hero alike. Readers are in for a roller coaster of
emotions in this gripping page-turner, with twists and turns that will have readers
on the edge of their seats until the surprising end.
Meléndez doesn’t shy away from writing dark menacing
characters. Must be his love for the
dark Master Edgar Allan Poe. In THE
COWBOY, a machete-wielding psychopath has a serious vendetta against nurses, and
the headless bodies are stacking up. After
more than 10 years on the force, New York City Detectives John Delgado and Bill
Crocitto had thought they’d seen everything. They haven’t. They are now on the hunt
for a monster, and following every lead no matter how trivial. They will stop the Cowboy at all costs,
even if it means going out in a blaze of glory.#
