Six of his seven children, all so desperate for their father's money, they'd kill for it.

What she never sees coming are Emma's plans to go into Manhattan and find out on her own. Meanwhile, Camille must be found. Private investigator Marty Spellman is threatened by a mysterious man to find her. He has seventy-two hours or do so--or members of his own family die.

Soon, all parties are in a rush to violence, but despite how quickly they act, it's clear that no one is safe.READ WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING ABOUT THE FIFTH AVENUE SERIES: "UNPUTDOWNABLE! You have to face it: Christopher Smith is one hell of a storyteller! A Rush to Violence is a fine thriller in every respect! The author's timing is perfect, resulting in scene after scene of unputdownable reading. Smith's attention to detail makes his story literally jump off the page. His writing and timing are so good that you don't even know you are holding your breath until it is time to hold it again!" Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "CHRISTOPHER SMITH JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER! Well, Christopher Smith has raised the bar yet again. With "A Rush To Violence ", the Spellman saga unloads double-barrelled, hard-hitting action from the very first chapter. Smith doesn't hold anything back, resulting in an immersive experience. There are no fluffy, unnecessary descriptive ramblings-just unrelenting action and suspense! There is no such thing as a "slow burn " here...the fuse is burning, and the powder keg looms not far off! FIVE STARS! THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING THRILLER!

SMITH'S BOOKS ARE THOSE KINDS OF BOOKS!!" Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "ENTHRALLING!!! Smith knocked it way out of the park. EXCELLENT READ!!! I would never have guessed the ending. Wow! Loved it!"

Smith never disappoints; in fact, he makes you so connected to the characters that the many twists throw you for a loop. You don't know who you are pulling for because Smith pulls the rug out from under you when you least expect it. You finish a chapter and think DID HE REALLY JUST DO THAT? SMITH MAKES SOME OF TODAY'S WELL-KNOWN GREATS FAIL IN COMPARISON!!" Amazon reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
