 Episode 249: The Jack Tyrrell Thriller Series with Author Geoff Loftus
Author Geoff Loftus discusses his new book, The Devil’s Vacation. It is the tenth book in his Jack Tyrrell thriller series. The main character, Jack Tyrrell, is a former Special Forces veteran and Deputy U.S. Marshall who solves crimes and rights wrongs with the help of his guardian angel.
In The Devil’s Vacation, which is set on a small island off the coast of Rhode Island, Jack finds his summer vacation interrupted by a brutal double murder. The deaths have familiar hallmarks, and Jack and his guardian angel are forced into a confrontation with evil in the form of a serial killer and his guardian devil.
This hard-edged, contemporary thriller series—its story line and the main characters—was inspired by Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
