REVIEW
EXCERPTS:
"...
it is a riveting read. The ending came fast and furious and was
entirely unexpected."
"It
all begins with a father and son going to a hockey game. Tom Slater
is protecting his son, but things go awry. The author does a great
job with this story in a what-if situation anyone could find
themselves in. I thoroughly enjoyed it."
"I
recently read The Innocent by Michael Bronte. This is an excellent
novella which is a great way to find out about an author's writing
style. Michael has created a splendid story which will have you
flipping the pages."

Shock-jock
extraordinaire, he'd been one of the biggest. Now, he’s doing the
graveyard shift in Nowhere, USA. Gulliver still has fans, however,
which some call a radio freak parade. At 3:16 a.m., he takes the
tenth call, and the caller is into murder. The caller calls again,
and again. He’s always the tenth call, and the murders go way back.
Who is he, and how is he always the tenth call?
Michael
Bronte is a graduate of Union College in Schenectady, New York, and
George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and lives with his
wife in New Jersey. "All of the heroes in my novels are everyday
people," says Bronte. "Any of them could by your next door
neighbor. None of us really know what we're capable of until the time
comes for us to reach beyond the boundaries of our everyday lives.
Remarkable feats of courage are performed all around us. It's
amazing."
As
a young teenager I remember reading paperback mysteries under a huge
oak tree outside my parents’ neighborhood grocery store in Dalton,
Massachusetts, a small town located in the heart of the Berkshires. I
can recall pulling a book from the rack and getting locked into
those novels as the fragrant summer breeze of Berkshire County tried
to turn the page before I was done reading it. I don’t know why,
but I was greatly affected by a book titled The Fan Club, by Irving
Wallace. When I was done reading it, I can still recall thinking that
someday I’d be able to write a book like that on my own; I knew I
could do it.
Well,
the idea stayed dormant for over thirty years while I did what I
thought I should have been doing for a living (looking back, it all
seems so trivial sometimes) until I rekindled by infatuation with
writing novels. Now, many years later, and many mistakes and failures
later, there are nine Michael Bronte novels available. They are: The
Dealership, Presidential Risk, Porchball, Call Me Crash, The Tenth
Caller, Lost Friday, The Brothers, The Handyman, and the newest
Michael Bronte novel, Homicide: Party of Twelve
