In Huntington Beach, California someone enters the office of Payroll Computation Services and kills eighteen employees. The media immediately knee jerks to disgruntled employee, but Detective Bart Starcevich, who leads the inquiries into the mass murders sees no obvious link as such though the few survivors of the Orange County branch of PCS remain the prime suspects. There is nothing at the crime scene that proves useful and no one was left alive as a witness to the slaughter. Bart and his team feel stymied as public pressure to catch the killer grows. FBI Profiler Tracy Conway is assigned to do her magic to help Detective Starcevich narrow down the suspect list. The two cops look closely at three individuals, the daughter of one of the victims Julie Albright, sales representative Denny Lydick and accounts payable manager Carl Strayhorn. When Starcevich finds the murder weapons inside a storage locker rented by Strayhorn, he books him for murder. However, his Federal profiler has doubts as something does not add up right and Starcevich also has concerns as the evidence suddenly appeared like magic too easily pulling a dead rabbit out of a hat after going nowhere. Police procedural fans will gain immense pleasure from this terrific mass murder investigative thriller. The story line is action-packed, but centers on two law enforcement officials who struggle with a case that seems to have no motive, suddenly appear to have solved the homicides, but filled with doubts that something is off kilter that they do not see. WITHOUT WARNING readers including this reviewer of this fine tale will seek other suspense laden works by author Tom McCrory (see COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL). Harriet Klausner
Fast-Paced Thriller - Loved It !

"Without Warning" is a fast-paced thriller with real characters; you will feel as if you know the people in the book, because surely you have worked with someone just like them. McCrory fooled me with his suprise ending, and kept me guessing throughout the entire book. Pick up "Without Warning" and you won't put it down.
GREAT BOOK

Could not put it down!

Tom McCrory does it again. I could not put this book down once I started reading it. The characters are real, you feel like you know them. The story grabs you and leads you in one direction and then twists you in another. This was a great way to follow Tom's first book "Company Confidential". Can't wait for his next book!
