“I know every review has already said it- but I’m confirming it. You cannot put this book down!! It has suspense, love, deceit, mystery … everything you need for a total page turner. The character development was spot on—especially with Reed Jackson. I really hope this is a new career path for Robert Joseph because I want MORE!!”

“Shadow of Vendetta is one of the best books I read this year. Robert Joseph displays all of his master story-telling skills in this one as he takes us on a riveting and action-packed adventure through the Italian countryside.  The pace is swift. The characters are complex and compelling. Dark, determined forces set on revenge compound Reed Jackson’s effort to right the wrongs endured by generations of Italian citizens. Are Jackson and his team up to the task?  You’ll find out as you enjoy this excellent novel!”

“Robert Joseph continues to thrill us with his second installment in the Shadow series, Shadow of Vendetta. This sprawling novel takes place over three continents and brings the reader closer to Reed Jackson and his team of experts as they take on a new and dangerous mission. They’ll need help from Joseph Johnson, an international hitman and Brando, a young Italian, who is part of the Italian mafia. Non-stop, page turning action. HIGHLY recommended!”
