Book Description

EL CAJON, Calif. Author Mickey Mongiovi invites readers to join in the excitement of a mob mystery in his thrill-a-minute novel, Wheelchair (now available through AuthorHouse). Henry is an average guy. After serving as a weapons specialist in Vietnam, he retired and opened a gun shop in a small town near an army base. Happily married with two kids, Henry is happy with his quiet life. When he unintentionally witnesses a mob murder, he becomes the target of the organized crime unit in his town. On their first attempt to take Henrys life, they miss him but accidentally kill his wife and kids instead. Devastated and longing for revenge, Henry seeks the help of his war buddy, Ace, a mechanic who owns a small repair shop. They take their story to the police, but when Sheriff Frazer proves to be unhelpful they realize theyre on their own. The second attempt to kill Henry leaves him paralyzed and ends Aces life. Completely alone, Henry realizes he is in over his head. Then he meets Rusty, Aces feisty wife. Seeking revenge for her husbands death, Rusty renews Henrys hope of justice for his family and best friend. With Rustys knowledge and connections on the street, they are able to track down the mob members responsible for their loved ones deaths. A powerful motor developed by Ace before his death and Henrys knowledge of firearms levels the playing field between the vigilantes and the heavily armed mob as Henry and Rusty fashion an elaborate wheelchair gun ship. Now a human killing machine on a mission for justice, nothing can stop Henry! Mongiovi currently lives in El Cajon, Calif., and works for the Barona Mission Indians in Lakeside, Calif., as a tribal law enforcement officer. Wheelchair is his second book.
