After surviving a bad experience in his hometown, P.I. Frank Johnson moves away to Scarab, West Virginia, drawn by the promise of its leisurely days and the lure of its tranquil leafy mountains. Instead, while relaxing, what he finds is a Stinger rocket exploding over his cabin. He's back on the job. His investigation uncovers a local cult known as the Blue Cheer who is a racist group with ugly terrorist plans in mind. As the events heat up, the blood starts to spill, and for Frank it all gets real personal real quick. With the help of his fearless bounty hunter friend Gerald Peyton, he sets out to bring the Blue Cheer to justice any way he can. The bestselling The Blue Cheer, originally published by the notable crime fiction imprint Point Blank, has garnered praise from Robert Wade (Whit Masterson, Wade Miller) at the San Diego Tribune-Union ("an unpredictable story filled with complex characters") to a starred review at Booklist ("top-of-the-line hard-boiled fare"). The Blue Cheer is part of the P.I. Frank Johnson Mystery Series.
