Click on Frank's name to email him--he'd love to hear from you.
Martin Muntor is a man with nothing to lose. Everything has been taken from him -- his family, his job, and now his life. Muntor has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.
But he has no intention of dying a failure. Cooped up in his dreary Philadelphia row house, he promises himself somebody will pay for his pain and misery. Muntor becomes the avenging angel for all those millions who have been deceived by slick tobacco industry advertising only to fatten company profits and die in agony. His mind turns to diabolical vengeance and he develops an ingenious plot to bring down the powerful American cigarette industry.
Gasp! is an intense psycho-thriller, with suspense building page after page as Muntor's terrorism hits at the heart of America.
Tommy Rhoads is a corporate security investigator hired to find the madman and stop the carnage. He pursues Muntor in a breathtaking series of moves and countermoves across the map.
When Rhoads zigs, Muntor zags. The nerve-wracking tension spirals as Rhoads gets closer and Muntor continues to kill.
With the help of an unconventional psychiatrist, Rhoads tries to put himself in Muntor's shoes. The more he does, the more he wonders if-despite hundreds of horrific deaths -- in the end Muntor might be doing more good than harm.
Who prevails in the end? Muntor? Rhoads? The tobacco industry?
Gasp! will keep you guessing until its stunning last page.
