Acting With Intent

Struggling New York actor, Sean Tracy, finds himself embroiled in an adventure to rescue the daughter he never knew he had, stolen money and intellectual property from the Russian Mafia and its ruthless Armenian bag-man.

Irish Catholic bad boys from Belfast; comely women as exact opposites - one with an Ivy League law degree -- another as diabolical as she is talented, the Russian Mafia and a dog so adorable he will steal your heart, are the players in Jack Mageean's thrilling e-book, Acting With Intent.

This is a finely-wrought story with superb character development and spot-on descriptions of Manhattan, Paris, and Los Angeles. Mageean knows his locations as well as his characters. A frantic trip from Paris to Provence to save the good guys from a sociopathic Armenian deftly weaves high octane drama with the beauty of the South of France. The suspense is both subtle and powerful.

Mageean's pacing is superb. His chapters fly as quickly as the protagonist's transcontinental and transatlantic flights. They all take you full throttle to an ending as elusive and gripping as any four-star mystery novel.
