Marcus Aurelius Strong

Mandatory retirement from the Secret Service after an exemplary thirty-year career leaves Marc Strong frustrated. The activities he loves are not fulfilling anymore, because he longs to do what he did for thirty years--protect people and serve the public. This desire causes him to take it upon himself to go after a gang of highway robbers that is terrorizing travelers on Interstate 95. Little does Marc know that tracking down the "I-95 Gang" will see him gain two retired FBI agents as allies, see him acquire a wife along the way, and lead him to discover that the gang he is chasing is linked to the dangerous "Irish Mafia of Philadelphia" led by Ronan"Blinky" Moran, a former member of the IRA. It is learned that Tommy Moran, Blinky's son, is the leader of the "I-95 Gang." Marc's determination to bring Tommy to justice leads him and his allies to California, as Tommy tries first to hide out with his sister there, and then to Ireland where he flees to his grandmother's in Sligo. In Ireland there are many surprising developments and also the introduction of a number of colorful characters that enhance the drama of the story. The book features romance, dramatic encounters involving rabid Irish nationalism, religious conversion, and even casino gambling. The biggest surprise of all comes at the end. This is a truly unique story
