One of the most intense, graphic books I have ever read. The imagination of Max Wilde is a thing to behold." ELIZABETH A. WHITE - FLORIDA TIMES-UNION"VILE BLOOD has characters you care about, a nasty wit and a strange kind of charm. Can't wait for the sequel." - JACK KETCHUM, author of THE GIRL NEXT DOOR & THE WOMAN"VILE BLOOD by Max Wilde, alias Roger Smith, has the same wicked pace, wonderful prose and compulsory vibe that keeps the pages flying in his crime novels, but be warned, this is something very different from Smith. This is more violent and bloodier than anything we've seen from him yet, with true stomach-churning horror that takes no prisoners." - DAVE ZELTSERMAN, author of MONSTER & THE CARETAKER OF LORNE FIELDMax Wilde is the pen name of award-winning crime writer, Roger Smith.

Seven Years Dead


Chuck Driskell - 2016
    Allegedly. In the waning days of the Second World War, Tommy’s American unit was slaughtered by the notorious Schutzstaffel—the Waffen SS. According to the U.S. government, there were no survivors. But Tommy did survive—the sole survivor of 187 men. In the interest of his privacy, the government provided him with a new identity in a different region of the country. But, unknown to the U.S. government, Tommy spent his college years planning his revenge. And now, in 1952, Tommy is traveling back to Germany. He’s going there to find the man, the murderer, the SS commander who ordered his friends killed. Despite his deep-seeded hatred, Tommy is forced to assimilate with his German hosts. Though unwilling at first, he even finds himself yielding to the kindness of a German widow and her son. Although his hunt progresses successfully, he soon falls under the scrutiny of a dogged Berlin detective as well as a deadly legion of former SS. Inspired by the true events of the Malmedy Massacre, SEVEN YEARS DEAD begins as a tale of revenge and transforms to one of redemption. With dual plot lines of journal entries recounting the massacre, paralleled with Tommy’s hunt for the SS, SEVEN YEARS DEAD is an action/crime thriller that esteemed World War II author Kelly Durham describes as “thrilling and riveting.”
