RELEASE DAY REVIEW: Jordan Major and the Ghost – Edward Kendrick

Jordan Major is a hit man, an assassin. Call him what you will, he kills people for pay. Soon after his most recent foray, he comes downstairs one morning to find a man he vaguely recognizes in the main room of his virtually impenetrable house. A man, he quickly learns, he killed two years previously.

Craig, now a ghost, wants to know who hired Jordan to murder him.

What they find out and how they deal with the information will, potentially, set Jordan on a new course. One where he's willing to take out people who deserve his attention, not innocents he’s been hired to kill.

At least that's what Craig hopes as he tries to persuade Jordan there are worse things in life than giving up his very lucrative, if highly illegal, occupation. After all, he has his antique store, which brings in more money than he really needs, given what he's stashed in an off-shore bank account.

Then NOPD detective Kirk Ireland enters the picture and Jordan's life changes again.

He wants to hire Jordan, but his price is too high. As a ghost able to enter places invisible he can easily steal the money, but the money will not go through walls.

Craig is almost successful when a new hit comes through and Jordan researches the man who hires him and discovers he is a liar and the man he wants killed is an innocent.

Now Jordan questions what he has been doing, how many innocent people has he killed because he didn’t care. The man who hired him is now on his hit list and sure that he did everything right when he killed the man, he is shocked when he gets a visit from Kirk Ireland from NOPD.

Craig is determined to stand by Jordan and be there through it all. He hopes that this will be the point where Jordan gives up his career as an assassin but will it.

Craig is a wonderful partner for Jordan able to enter places unseen and get information. Now with the appearance of Kirk it may be too late for Jordan to give up killing or is it.
Craig brought light to what could have been a dark story about a hitman, and he did bring a smile to my face.

Surprises, secrets, and wonderful characters. It isn’t often you can say that a book about a hitman is a fun read, but this one was.
