What readers are saying about the Milan Thriller Series:
★★★★★ "The characters and plot in "Thirteen Days in Milan" are alive, and the novel has enormous vitality. Fabio is a well-educated, young Italian man who loses his job and decides to create his own terrorist cell to fight against a corrupt system, and Berlusconi's government. With the help of other characters, he plans a political assassination at Milan's train station. While there, American photographer Sylvia photographs the terrorists. Alfredo, Fabio's friend, sees her taking pictures and kidnaps her.
★★★★★ "Thirteen Days In Milan" contains all that I look for in a thriller. I fell in love with the characters; got caught up with the twists and turns of the plot; lost myself in the Italian landscape and admired how the author brought me inside the heads of the principal players."
★★★★★ "No One Sleeps" is a captivating, quick-paced story with colorful characters and a chilling yet plausible story of jihad against the infidels, how hate develops and consumes people, and the use of technology to avoid capture / track the bad guys. Refreshing change to see Italian law enforcement portrayed as effective and dedicated. The author must have done extensive research about life in Milan.
★★★★★ "Vesuvius Nights" has everything I want in a mystery. A compelling plot, vivid writing, and an Italian setting with vivid details. Erickson's writing style fully engages me. The pace of the writing mirrors the speed of modern life with the action transpiring over one week. The characters exhibit depth and humanity and become very real. Highly recommended."
★★★★★ "This third book in Erickson's thriller series moves to Naples with the back story of the leading female detective, exploring the workings of Camorra, the dangerous organized crime syndicate. Jack's descriptions of Naples and the views of Vesuvius make you feel a part of the vibrant city, and the action will have you transfixed. Can't wait for the next one!"
