The Shepard by Ethan Cross

I am currently reading The Shepard by Ethan Cross. The reason for my choice in picking it this weekend is because I will be starting The Prophet shortly after. So far I'm 50% in and the book is doing a great job of holding my attention. It reads at an extremely fast pace. Usually I would be finished with a book like this and on to the next in the Shepard series but it was the weekend. Everyone deserves a break to just relax and have fun with friends.

Synopsis: TO STOP A MONSTER... Marcus Williams and Francis Ackerman Jr. both have a talent for hurting people. Marcus, a former New York City homicide detective, uses his abilities to protect others while Ackerman uses his gifts to inflict pain and suffering. HE MUST EMBRACE THE MONSTER WITHIN HIMSELF When both men become unwilling pawns in a conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of our government, Marcus finds himself in a deadly game of cat and mouse trapped between a twisted psychopath and a vigilante with seemingly unlimited resources. Aided by a rogue FBI agent and the vigilante's beautiful daughter - a woman with whom he's quickly falling in love - Marcus must expose the deadly political conspiracy and confront his past while hunting down one of the must cunning and ruthless killers in the world.
