Another great read by DeLeo. Spoiler alert
This one starts with Lo, Rick, Frank, Stacey, Jim, Kull,Temple, Ellen and the rest of the crew on a voyage to Canada. The celebrity contingent are there to mingle with the people who love their movies. The ultimate goal though is to get Canadian funding for the next two movies. Cheech Garibaldi and the director Wolf are also on board and will be handling negotiations for the funding.
Of course nothing ever goes as planned and right off the bat there is a murder on the ship. Now the security detail for the ship are unarmed and have never dealt with anything like a murder. They are more than happy to let Rick and Lo handle it.
The murdered man was paid to cause a problem with the celebrities on board. A woman named Sophra Brinfrey is also on board and it was one of her men who killed the man. A fact that is revealed when Kull the pit bull tracks him down. Brinfrey is a billionaire who thinks she is above the law. A fact that is quickly proved to be wrong when Rick and Lo contact the FBI director. Since Rick and Lo are FBI agents and a special unit that can do what needs to be done when called Brinfrey will be heading to the FBI office.
Seems Brinfrey and some of the other movie people are involved with the Illuminati. The Illuminati will of course try to kill Rick and Lo. After losing quite a few of their people they decide that they will be leaving Rick and Lo alone. Some of those belonging to the Illuminati don't see it that way though.
So begins one damned fine read.
This one has Rick, Lo, Frank, Kull, Bone, Steve, Trish a actress who serves the Illuminati, an actress who is murdered, her murderer who Lo and Rick capture, a murderer who is an assassin and ex SAS who decided once he got back to Britain and saw all the Muslim idiots that he would become an assassin, Rick and Lo decide he's worth saving and pass him on to Floyd Kennedy so he can give him all the info he has on the Illuminati, a group of snipers, a Rick who ends them, a group of snipers who would have killed Kennedy and anyone around him when they arrived to pick up Brinfrey, a Brinfrey who is attacked by one of the four lawyers who show up, a Brinfrey who survives, a Jim and Ellen who become part of school security when they get home, bad guys, death and Rick and Lo doing their best to get their friends and employees home in one piece, survive and stay alive.

Rick Cantelli, P.I. (Book 8) Red Ruin (Rick Cantelli, P.I. Detectives) Kindle Edition
Ex-Navy SEAL Rick Cantelli and CIA Counterintelligence Agent Lois Madigan are back.
The wonderful celebrity cruise on the East Coast turns into a nightmarish voyage into the reaches of the Illuminati, where they believe Rick and Lo can be erased easily. Unfortunately for the sick society of New World Order elitists, they’ve overstepped their bounds this time. The Globalist NOW group learn quickly the two old geezers they thought to send into an early dirt nap, will not go quietly… or at all.
Ambushes, snipers, assassins, and political miscreants all get into the mix as Cantelli-land moves offshore on a media circus from New Jersey’s Cape Liberty to Saint John, Canada. Finally reaching home after shipboard intrigue and successful negotiations for movie funding with a Halifax Investment Group, a host of foes thought to be heading for prison, obtain releases amidst California corruption.
The Madigan/Cantelli enemies list grows longer… but only temporarily.
Red Ruin, is a wild, politically incorrect Action-Packed, Pulp Fiction ride, co-starring Kull the Barbarian pit bull, never far from the action.

"Dead to me" takes on a whole new meaning
Reviewed in the United States on 17 May 2018Verified Purchase
Rick and Lo, along with their entire crew, accompany Jim, Temple, Ellen, and Kull the Barbarian on a Celebrity Cruise where they will make several stops to entertain and mingle with fans. Several events take place onboard the ship. Rick and Lo have been marked for death by the Illuminati. At each port stop, sniper crews are awaiting their arrival.
As they respond to each threat, they learn more about who has authorized the attempts on their lives, and their names are added to Rick and Lo's threat list. Jim has own share of run-ins and handles them like a pro. Kull the pit bull solves a couple of murders on the ship.
This may be the best Cantelli/Madigan adventure yet. The body count is high ... but they were all bad.

SOPHOMORIC AND JUVENILE, BUT SATISFYING
Reviewed in the United States on 2 December 2018Verified Purchase
Vigilante justice at its finest from a gang headed by patriotic psychopaths. Entertaining in the sense that so much has happened to our country where our enemies use our Constitution and laws to wage war against America. Enemies, foreign and domestic (especially those who are attempting to destroy America from within) are dealt with using brutality and the finality of a shot to the head.
Escapist literature for those who want to slip the bounds of political correctness and the idiocy of our political leaders and liberal billionaires whose "don't do as I do, do as I say" attitude is tiring to say the least. The fact that those who are influencing the course of the country remain above the very laws and consequences they impose is troublesome. Until former Navy SEAL Rick Cantelli, CIA Counterintelligence Agent Lois Madigan, and the motley crew from Madigan & Cantelli Security and Investigations hold them to account in a most personal way.

Great action. Highly satisfying.
Reviewed in the United States on 20 May 2018Verified Purchase
Rick Cantelli and his partner, Lois Maddigan are two of my favorite characters Bernard has created. The story start with a cruise from hell, where it seems people in every port tried to kill them. Then a return home to deal with the unintended consequences of earlier actions. If you enjoy brisk action, great characters, and the satisfaction pulp fiction offers to set matters right, you will enjoy this book.

Politically incorrect action from American nationalists will put you in a great frame of mind
Reviewed in the United States on 17 May 2018Verified Purchase
Nonstop action eliminating the idiots BLM and Antifa thugs along with taking on the Illuminati makes for a great read. If you are as sick of the PC crowd and leftist enablers, this book and DeLeo are just what the doctor ordered. If you are a whining snowflake who needs her blanket and quiet space, this book is definitely not for you. Go find a quiet corner and suck your thumb!
