THE BALLAD OF THE GREAT VALUE BOYS

by Ken Harris



February 10 - March 7, 2025 Virtual Book Tour

FROM THE CASE FILES OF STEVE ROCKFISH

 

Private Investigators Steve Rockfish and Jawnie McGee's loyalty is tested when they are called upon to rescue a friend whose plan to grift a local Militia goes awry. The ruse rebrands expiring MREs as Q-Rations, focuses on fear, and targets those with an anti-government mindset. 

Rockfish and McGee arrive in the dilapidated steel town of Grindsville and are quick to realize the Penn Forest Patriots are more than weekend LARPers. The partner's investigation uncovers a devious plot to light the fuse on a series of domestic terrorism events and throw the country into chaos.

The lack of a timely response by Federal Law Enforcement swiftly constitutes an emergency on Rockfish and McGee’s part. The plot forces them to empty their analytical and investigative skill sets across two states in an attempt to mitigate the threat. Can they prevent the terror cell from igniting the next insurrection and running out the clock on America’s democracy?

My Thoughts 


THE BALLAD OF THE GREAT VALUE BOYS

Is written by Ken Harris. This is book four in The case files of Steve Rockfish series. I’ve not read the other books but I had no problem following along. This is a new to me author. Some of the characters were introduced in other books however there is enough back story to ensure readers do not feel lost. 



The book is fast paced and will have you reading late into the night ( At least it did for me). The book is packed full of action and suspense. Rockfish, McGee and Raffi find themselves against the Great Value Boys. The Great Value Boys definitely seem to outgun our trio. 


I enjoyed this book. It made me laugh, gasp and stay up late reading. The book is well written. The characters are well developed. 

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Partners In Crime Tours for allowing me to read a copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.
