PARALLAX
What happens when two professional assassins - one a Mafia hitman and the other a former German terrorist - kill at exactly the same moment in time? For Ernst Stahl and Frank Jolino the result is a psychic bond that slowly blossoms in each man's mind, enabling them to see into the other's world. Frank Jolino doesn't like what he sees, especially when he realizes that Stahl is headed to his home turf of Boston to kill a scientist who may hold the key to solving the world's deadliest diseases. But for Stahl, there's no other option. Virtually bankrupt and with his son in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant, he's got little choice but to take the assignment. Jolino has other ideas. On the run from his crime syndicate for refusing to kill his ex-girlfriend-turned-government-informant, Jolino sets a plan in motion that will bring the two men face-to-face and gun-to-gun...with no guarantees either will survive.

A terrific thriller!, April 4, 2009
"Oh, that bastard, Jon F. Merz!" (but in a GOOD way! ;) ) He had me raging and screaming against him... "NO! He can't do THAT!" "Yes! He DID do it." "NO! He's doing something else even WORSE!" "Eeeeeekkkkkk!!!" This was a really fun book unto the very last page. Frank Jolino and Ernst Stahl, professional assassins and strangers to one another, become linked in a very unusual way. What ensues is a LOT of excitement and an ending that had my head thinking it was playing Twister. Read this book for FUN! It would be a terrific movie, too.

Awesome Book, Suspenseful all the way through, April 3, 2009
Like other Jon F. Merz books, very suspenseful and good. A different
aspect of the powers of the universe and the mind of two different
assassins. Shows how far the love of a father will go for his child.
The conscience of another. What would you do if you can see what
someone else want's to do, and it wrong or right. Would you stop it,
would you let it happen. Read what happens. It will keep you at the
edge of your seat.
