Former Marines, Early and Behr, are looking for the man who killed Early’s wife.

But after the two declare war on the Detroit drug trade in their search for the killer, they realize that none of their training has prepared them for the moment when they come face to face with the killer.

A man with a violent history, Early killed fourteen men in Afghanistan because they killed his friends. What is he ready to do to the man who killed his loved one?

5.0 out of 5 stars A tough, no holds barred, thriller with a bucket load of suspense
Reviewed in the United States on 4 December 2020

A fantastic quick read and a totally different writing style that gave it more impact. A thriller, full of suspense that doesn’t even give a hint as to the finale.
You can identify and feel an empathy with the MC, as you get to know more about him and his circumstances as you progress through the read. The author, John W Wood, writes from authority, having served in the USMC, with distinction. With that knowledge, it’s adds an aura of realism, and a sense of the turmoil that a lot of these dedicated men and women have gone through and continue to do so. PTSD is only now coming to the forefront of our knowledge and can only be understood by those who have served, and to a lesser degree, those whose family members have served.
This is a five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ star read without a shadow of a doubt!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! A mystery within a thriller by a Marine who knows his stuff!
Reviewed in Canada on 29 November 2018

This book should be required reading for any former or off duty Marines, and any active Marines (I am told there are no ex-Marines!) or law enforcement, who, I am sure, would understand the language perfectly. The author knows his stuff, from law enforcement to family life to war, all written in a plausible manner, and the PTSD in a chilling manner, but with intersperses of gentleness and love around the two burly heroes. I was about to give it 4 stars when I came to the amazing conclusion, which I didn't expect at all! Like a mystery within a thriller, this book unwinds to its inevitable yet astounding end. Well done, Mr. Wood!

A good storyline concerning two ex marines, Early and Behr who are looking for vengeance for the killer of Early's wife. There are lots of twists and turns which keep you reading. The end of the book has another uexpected twist. I would describe this book as a `mystery'slash `thriller`. It'a good read. You won't be disapointed .

5.0 out of 5 stars Revenge and retribution
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 August 2018

When former Marine, John Early's wife is gunned down in a supermarket parking lot, his life, already blighted by PTSD, takes a turn for the worse as he becomes a vigilante, hell-bent on revenge for his wife's death. He enlists the help of his former Marine buddy, Bear, who happens to be his brother-in law, and the pair embark on a bloody spree, taking down drug dealers and any member of the criminal fraternity who crosses their path. With the police in hot pursuit of the vigilante killers, the author has, created a fast moving, page turner, action-packed and breathless in its intensity at times. The book moves along at such a fast pace that the ending arrives all too soon, and I guarantee it will shock readers as much as it did me. I never saw it coming! Well done Mr. Wood.

With Deadly Purpose has an interesting story line and is well researched. The end - a surprise - ties it all together well.
