Richard I Levine is a native New Yorker who grew up in the shadows of Yankee Stadium. "I fondly remember the days of sneaking into the Ballpark through the bleacher seat entrance to watch Maris and Mantle play, sipping egg cream sodas at the corner candy store and playing (surviving) Bronx style sidewalk games until mom called out from our fourth floor apartment window that dinner was getting cold."
After working in the auto parts business for several years and a one year wanderlust trip that took him coast to coast and back again, this one time volunteer firemen, auxiliary police officer and bartender eventually returned to school to become a chiropractor. He lives in the Pacific Northwest where he continues to write--confessing to a strong desire to dig his toes into the warm white sands of Lanikai while sipping on an ice-cold Pipeline Porter and munching on fresh Mahi Mahi Poke.

The roller-coaster life of Dr. Ray Silver continues in The Last Angel In Hell by Richard I Levine. In Eye of the Redeemer, the first book of the saga, Ray became a national hero when he found himself as an accidental key player in a covert CIA operation during his personal quest to substantiate his life. He continued to search for the truth regarding his long-lost brother, Frank, who was allegedly killed during a Navy SEAL mission in Beyond Redemption. It wasn’t an easy quest, as he tried to balance a family life with his new wife, while dealing with Francine Manetti, a powerful San Francisco Congresswoman, who was also searching for Frank Silver. Frank supposedly had secret documents that could prevent her from becoming the most powerful woman in America.
In this third book, we find a physically and emotionally exhausted Ray trying to finally enjoy a quiet life with his family. Unfortunately, his past comes back to haunt him, as his two eldest children are being used as pawns in a cloak and dagger war being waged by two NSA advisors competing for the top post in President Jack Walker's National Security council. Levine successfully maintains the multilayered and high intensity story line. A great concept for a series can sometimes feel stretched and thin, yet Levine makes sure that it’s widely explored. As before, the prose is superb and the plot twists as well as action scenes are nicely handled. The Last Angel in Hell exceeds the expectations of its predecessors. Simply put, a great work from Levine and I truly enjoyed this series.
