The title right there tells you everything you need to know to avoid this one! It seems to suggest that an American kill is somehow special when this is one of the most violent nations on the planet! And people blanche at the Taliban killing people? This completeds a three-strikes-and-you're-out trifecta for this author.

An American Bullet by John Stonehouse
"When a train and car collide during a Colorado winter storm, US Marshal John Whicher comes to assist a local officer on board - only to discover that his contact has disappeared into thin air. A breathless standalone in a series." How is it a stabndalone, exactly, if it's in a series? Wait, Colorado? Thin air? Breathless? Is this a joke? And why 'An American bullet'? Are we so insecure that we need to ram 'American' in front of everything? Stonehouse apparently is because this is the second one of this that I've non-reviewed and that had 'American' in front of the title too! A better title would have been 'Trackless', or 'Crossed Lines', or even, 'Bullet train', but none of thsoe really go well with 'American'.... Yawn.

An American Outlaw by John Stonehouse
First in a series" You betcha! God forbid we have any standalone novels when you can trap people into a money-making boring series. "Army vet Gil returns home determined to stay true to his fellow servicemen - a promise that lands him smack in the middle of an ill-fated bank heist." Well, he's an American outlaw! Fuck outlaws from any other place, This motherfucker is American! Can't do wrong! Excuse me, I have an urgent appointment to go piss myself laughing. What is it with thsi insecurity that forces people to slap an American label on everything?
