What readers are saying about First Kingdom File

Having read Pat's entire library, I feel qualified to write -- in each case, when his most recent arrived on my doorstep I was reading a work of a more prominent writer, intending to read but a few pages of Finneran's newest. In each case, the prominent writers' words waited patiently until I had finished the new arrival. The stories are very difficult to put down. I hope he produces his page-turners for a long time.

The First Kingdom File is a true 'page-turner' with present day implications which seem perfectly logical. The story is deftly written, and makes the reader feel a part of the story, as an on-looker. Pat Finneran is an Author who knows how to keep the attention on the story with his intuitive words which keep the reader spell-bound. This story just might be in the process of going on at this present time.

“Want something to ponder long after the book is read? A scary, compelling idea of what could happen. Read this book - it is well written.”
Rose Torretta, Missouri

Pat Finneran reaches new heights with his latest novel The First Kingdom File. It is current, spellbinding and a book you cannot put down. It is a real page turner. Initially, the plot seems somewhat far fetched. However, as the story develops, you become increasingly aware of the world wide complications of the theme. Mr. Finneran's historical and geographical descriptions give the reader a broad look at current increasing world problems and events that could affect the security of the United States. His broad knowledge of the subject sends the reader away with intimate knowledge of the complicated world we live in. The book is highly recommended not only for the entertainment value, but also for understanding current and future events in the world.
Vincent D. Farrell, Esq. Attorney for THE NEW YORK PRESS CLUB

Finneran's talent as a story teller was evident in Retribution, in his second, Murder in Two Parts, his talent was flying high. Now comes the exciting The First Kingdom File, proof he belongs in that elite fraternity of authors who write exciting suspense and mystery novels; every one a true page turner! These are must read books. Exciting writing that grips the reader and doesn't let go until the last word of the final sentence.
A. Nielsen, Lincoln, California

First Kingdom File was just fantastic. I hate to use this old phrase but it was one of those books that I just couldn't put down. Its very timely which makes all the more believable. The book is fast paced but more important is suspenseful from the beginning to end. My kind of book. When reading the book, one gets the feeling that you actually experienced everything and that you are just writing it down. I can't wait for your fourth book.”
Freddy Jalot, Seaford, Delaware

Tremendous Entertainment! One can only gasp in admiration at the skill with which Finneran weaves an intricate story line into a coherent pattern. The result is a marvel of pure storytelling. Finneran is making himself the storyteller of thrillers!

The third book of this mystery writer is compelling, filled with foolproof schemes and facts that boggle the mind. The book, taken on a recent vacation, was impossible to put down, and observed by shipmates from England after the London bombings, was an immediate request to borrow upon our reading. The book stayed with them in England and the last e-mail confirmed that they believed the story and plot to be eerily true. Mr. Finneran has surpassed his first two books in plot, suspense, and valid questions about whether our country is viable or weakened to the point of surrender and slavery to an Islamic extremist barbarism that would take us back to the Dark Ages.

“Finneran's latest, is a work of art. This thriller places this new author among the very best tellers of thrilling and scary tales. Because it is based on truth, the book's premise is, absolutely frightening! Every member of Congress needs a copy of this book to take to bed with him or her tonight. I dare them to fall asleep!”
F. Sommersby, Washington, DC

I was in the middle of a Grisham novel when my copy of the First Kingdom File arrived in the mail. I thought I'd check out the first page or so. The Grisham book was quickly forgotten. I couldn't put this new thriller aside until I'd finished it. I'd recommend this book to anyone concerned about the future of the Western World in the face of militant Islamists. I'd be frightened that it might already be happening.

What readers are saying about Murder in Two Parts

Awesome. Compelling. A must read for the thrill. I was hooked from page one. Finneran writes in the manner of Grisham and Clancy, but somehow I felt his people were more 'real' I cared about them more. I'm recommending Murder in Two Parts to all my friends.
H. Beahan, Chicago

As a former Chief of Police, I was happy to read a book which for once, presented a policeman's work in an honest and straightforward manner. The plot is honest; the characters real. In all honesty this book had my full attention from the first page to the last. In short, it is one hell of a good read. I highly recommend it.
W. Churchill, Indianapolis

Patrick Finneran's second offering, Murder in Two Parts, is amazingly well researched, riveting and realistic. One could easily believe it was straight from the case files of police archives. In this rapid paced page turner, just when the reader is lulled into thinking things could have settled down, a car blows up. Just as the debris is cleared, someone else bites the dust. As the body count mounts, there's a unique high speed boat chase. I'm only now getting a chance to catch my breath. Looking for a great read? This is it!
Jeff Balis, Producer, Wisenheimer films, Hollywood

Murder in Two Parts is a suspenseful page turner that benefits greatly from Pat Finneran's 'insider' knowledge of police procedure and politics. Raders will root for amiable hero Dennis Flynn as his dogged investigation of a sensational double murder in Indianapolis leads him into the steamy underworld of Miami drug dealers and threatens to harm those he cares for back home. This action-packed yarn opens up the throttle on page one and never lets up.
Steve Hall, former media critic, The Indianapolis Star

Pat Finneran just keeps getting better. And Murder in Two Parts is his best yet, a suspensely told tale which returns us to his immensely likeable and clever hero, Dennis Flynn. Welcome back. Both Finneran and Flynn deserve all the acclaim and new readers this roaring yarn will give them.
Douglas Stanton, Author, In Harms Way, Lake Ann, Michigan

Don't begin Murder in Two Parts before bedtime, unless you are prepared to stay up all night! Quick, somebody make a movie from this book.

What readers are saying about Retribution!

Retribution was a thoroughly exciting read, from cover to cover! The plot was spell-binding and the central point was the bonding of three 'guys' who made the case! Another 'Three Muskateers' in action! Mike, Charlie, and Dave make a good team and maybe another 'Part Deuex' might be in the offing? The whole book was thrilling and the end of the book came too quickly. 

Mr. Finneran is hitting 'Aces' with his Mystery Books and the 'usual' suspects; John Grisham, et al, can move over!

The 'Energizer' Bunny is in Action!

A Mississippi reader.

“Move over John Grisham, there’s a new writer on the block! I’m always first in line to get Grisham’s latest, but this new writer has me hoping for more such writing, and that I will get to see Retribution! on the big screen. In my opinion this is one of those rare books which satisfies the reader’s deepest desires for thrills, nuance and great characters."
A New York reader.

“I was sorry when it ended. I wanted more!"
An Indiana reader.

“Awesome, Compelling, A must Read for the Thrill!!! From the moment you read page one you are hooked. You're kept in suspense with every turn of the page. You keep thinking about how retribution will take place, but not until the very end. This is a must read for anyone loves suspense. Please Mr. Finneran tell us more about Charlie, Neil & Mike. You Have a sequel there!!! Thank You so very much for making this a most enjoyable reading experience.” 
Navy vet., California

“One Great Tale in Two Parts. Finneran grabs your attention immediately, and then in a sense tells two tales since there is some resolution part way through with a dynamic ending. Retribution is sweet!”
Northwestern University prof., Chicago

“Fast engrossing story. I found this book to be very fast paced and able to hold attention. Well written and a compelling story with its twists. Would like this book available in bookstores easier to purchase.”
