Ruthless Alliance
A Ruthless Patriot with a Dark Sense of Humor. A Bureaucrat with Ulterior Motives. A Planned Bombing in New York and one Lone Wolf to Stop the Bloody Carnage.
Luis Fuentes longs to quit the violence-riddled border. But when the undercover DEA agent is contacted by a would-be-terrorist, he jumps in to probe for details before an extremist plot unfolds. And when the FBI Director tells him to quietly string the man along, the street-smart operative’s instincts tell him his superior is playing dirty pool.
Luis survives car chases, shootouts with cartel members, and ruthless killers. He spurs a gullible co-conspirator through a wild goose chase to obtain explosives. But in a risky covert gambit, the driven patriot becomes increasingly frustrated as he tries to prevent a devastating loss.
Can Luis end the corruption and prevent an international conspiracy from wreaking mass destruction?
If you enjoy irreverent heroes, wry humor, and fiction inspired by real events, you'll be captivated by Luca Storm’s unputdownable page-turner.
The book won the READERS FAVORITE GOLD MEDAL prize for Thriller-Terrorists in 2024 and has received more than 700 reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.
"Ruthless Alliance" is Luca's first thriller novel and she’s currently penning the second book of the series.
An avid reader of mysteries since she picked up her first Nancy Drew book in the third grade, she still gravitates to reading and listening to mysteries, suspense, and thrillers.
Her favorite thriller authors are Harlan Coben, Patricia Cornwell, JT Ryan, and Lee Child. She’s also a fan of non-fiction authors Malcolm Gladwell, James Clear, and Seth Godin.
The characters she creates are realistic, three-dimensional, and some are darkly funny. Her style is to write in first-person, giving each character a distinct voice and viewpoint. The end of her stories are always a surprise twist, but they resolve the story. Youl’ll find no hanging endings in her books, because she's no fan of them when she reads for pleasure.
Much of RUTHLESS ALLIANCE takes place in Northern Mexico where she lived in the mid-2000s with her husband and many rescue dogs. It's where she learned the vernacular used by some of her characters in this book. The locations are real. Both the people and culture of Mexico have a special place in her heart.
The second book in the series, Ruthless Pursuit, is scheduled for 2026. She's also working on the screenplay for Ruthless Alliance.
