“You told me you’d behave.” She glared down at him.
“Come over here and look.” He turned and pointed out the window, his jet-black eyes flashing. “There’s a woman being killed down there!”
“I don’t think so, now fasten your seat belt!”
“I’m serious. Come here and look,” he asked as he leaned toward his window.
Her patience exhausted, she said, “I knew I shouldn’t have given you that third drink!”
“But he’s strangling her.”
She leaned forward and got right into his face. “Buckle that seatbelt or I’ll have you arrested when we land. You got that?”
Finally, he complied and snapped the belt in, but he continued to argue with Charlie and with her. “You saw her, didn’t you, Charlie?”
“Bob, I was over here with my nose in a spreadsheet. I didn’t see…”
Reluctantly, Burke turned back to the flight attendant. “Look, ask the captain and the rest of the crew up in the cockpit. They must have been looking out there too. Or ask the other passengers on this side of the plane. Someone else must have seen it.”
“I’m not about to ask anybody anything until after we land.”
“Okay, but I want to talk to the police as soon as we do.”
“Oh, that won’t be a problem, Mr. Burke,” she answered sarcastically. “I’m sure they’ll want to talk to you, too. Now sit down, and shut up!”

REVIEWS AND HIGH PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR’S EARLIER NOVELS:
Reviewer Comments on The Undertaker, (a sampling from the 76 Five-Star reviews of the 150 submitted to Kindle on the E-book edition. It is also available on audio book on the Audible and Amazon site):
5-Stars! “This story was delicious! Snarky and wired, cynical and funny, it was everything a good mob thriller should be and more. I was sucked in as a reader and wasn’t released until the story was over.”
What Book is That?
5-Stars! “Awesome Must Read! This one had me jumping in head first from the beginning to the end I was kidnapped and taken for an exciting and thrilling ride. And to top it of it was hilarious. I laughed out loud several times.”
Passion Reads
5-Stars! “Fast Paced and Remarkable! Brown does an amazing job of creating characters who are real. The humor is incredible, and the murders most foul… and the story itself is quite wicked and very believable. I would recommend this book for those who love a thriller, with action and suspense.
Tic Toc Book Reviews
5-Stars! “Bring on more fear and loving! Wow! I read Chapter One and was hooked. He is a smart, tight writer who still manages to provide lavish description. In The Undertaker, he gives birth to some really fascinating characters (most of whom I would never want to meet).”
Book Pleasures
5-Stars! “The name of this book fits perfectly with the plot! The Undertaker has it all — suspense, mystery, action, intrigue, politicians, conspiracy, thrills, and a bit of romance. The reader is quickly drawn in. The plot is full of surprises. Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop. This is not a book I want to read alone late at night.”
Readers Favorites
Reviewer Comments on Amongst My Enemies: (a sampling from the 77 Five-Star reviews of the 134 submitted to Kindle on the E-book edition. It is also available on audio book on the Audible and Amazon site):
5-Stars! “A great cold war thriller! A very suspenseful, edge-of-your seat thriller… exciting, engaging… reminded me of books by Alistair MacLean and Tom Clancy. If you are looking for a Cold War thriller, this one was very engaging.”
Two Ends of the Pen
5-Stars! “A must read for historical fiction and suspense fans! I really enjoyed this story of Mike Randall and the U-Boat from Nazi Germany. It had a very realistic feel. The descriptions of the Nazi SS guys had me cringing… a great pick for history and suspense buffs.”
The Alaska Bookie
5-Stars! “This is not just another war story! It takes the reader to the heights and dregs of the human condition… speeds along like a Ken Follett or Eric Ludlum novel of old. For those who love adventure, thrills, this novel will leave you breathless and wanting more from this skillful writer. Splendidly written!”
Crystal Book Reviews
5-Stars! “An entertaining historical thriller! Reminds me of Jeffery Deaver’s Garden of Beasts and Frederic Forsythe’s The Odessa File. It provides one answer to the eternal question: What must good men and women do when evil walks among them? Dean Koontz has made a career answering this question.”
Book Pleasures
5-Stars! “A Highly Entertaining and Nail-Biting Read! I’d forgotten how much I could enjoy a good story… a fast, exciting read. The author excels at keeping the reader both gasping for air and reading on.”
Glynn Young Reviews
Reviewer Comments on Aim True, My Brothers — 22 Five-Star Reviews of the 23 posted on Amazon.
5-Stars! “An exciting, riveting read that explores courage and treachery, love and fear. Another crackerjack novel of World War II, following last year’s Amongst My Enemies. The reader is right there, carried along for one wild, breathtaking ride.”
Glynn Young, Amazon Reviewer
5-Stars! Fantastic read! This was an excellent, fast paced thriller I could not put down… HAD to finish before I could otherwise start my day!! I’ve enjoyed other books by this author and feel this is his best. Characters, plot, editing, all first rate and take out of the usual "Kindle only" book and definitely graduate to A list authors. Can’t wait for the next book! If you like contemporary thrillers you will love this book. Stop reading this review and buy it now!
Cycist, Amazon Reviewer
5-Stars! Top Notch! Grabs your interest from the first pages. This is more than a political action thriller. Politics and terrorism converge in a suspense filled action drama. Descriptions of places, people, and combat actions bring the reader directly into the story. You’ll want to read this novel.
Robert Kruger, Amazon Reviewer
5-Stars! MUST READ! Action packed political thriller with a twist! Browns cast of characters will take you into a world of intrigue and mayhem. Whether it’s Al-Bari, set on vengeance, or Barrett, whose witty humor keeps him in the "dog house" more often than not. Terrific read!!
Tanja, Amazon Reviewer
5-Stars! Another Superb William Brown Thriller! William Brown continues to amaze me with his writing. This story held my interest from beginning to end and, unlike some more famous authors, he didn’t jump around from one timeline to another, which confuses the reader. I loved the story and, as is the case with most of his plots, it made sense throughout. Another 5-Star effort by William F. Brown.
G. C. Whitney III, Amazon Reviewer
5-Stars! Super Novel! I really enjoyed this novel. After reading all the other reviews, there is not much I can all, however, if you are looking for some good reading……… buy it now.

Reviewer Comments – Winner Lose All — 48 Five-Star! and an average of 4.5 on 70 Amazon Reviews.
5-Stars! “An exciting, riveting read that explores courage and treachery, love and fear. Another crackerjack novel of World War II, following last year’s Amongst My Enemies. The reader is right there, carried along for one wild, breathtaking ride.”
Glynn Young, Amazon Reviewer
5-Stars! “I have read all of William Brown’s e-books and can say that all are great reads. The way Brown combines his military knowledge, his familiarity with European villages and his ability to create very real characters into the world of espionage in a time that was near the end of WW II is remarkable.”
GinnyReader, Amazon Reviewer
> 5-Stars! “If you want a really good story, one that pulls you into the action, then this is the book to read. Winner Lose All is a WW II era drama with a strong list of characters, both the good guys/bad guys, and some you just can’t decide where they fall in this tale of intrigues. It’s a non-stop adventure.”
Tanya, Amazon Reviewer
5-Stars! “I liked Winner Lose All for both the characters and the emotional struggles they had to suffer. As usual, a very good read from William Brown, and I’m looking forward to his next novels.”
Thomas Duff, Amazon Reviewer
