Wheelchair

EL CAJON, Calif. - Author Mickey Mongiovi invites readers to join in the excitement of a mob mystery in his thrill-a-minute novel, Wheelchair (now available through AuthorHouse).

Henry is an average guy. After serving as a weapons specialist in Vietnam, he retired and opened a gun shop in a small town near an army base. Happily married with two kids, Henry is happy with his quiet life.

When he unintentionally witnesses a mob murder, he becomes the target of the organized crime unit in his town. On their first attempt to take Henry's life, they miss him but accidentally kill his wife and kids instead. Devastated and longing for revenge, Henry seeks the help of his war buddy, Ace, a mechanic who owns a small repair shop. They take their story to the police, but when Sheriff Frazer proves to be unhelpful they realize they're on their own.

The second attempt to kill Henry leaves him paralyzed and ends Ace's life. Completely alone, Henry realizes he is in over his head. Then he meets Rusty, Ace's feisty wife. Seeking revenge for her husband's death, Rusty renews Henry's hope of justice for his family and best friend. With Rusty's knowledge and connections on the street, they are able to track down the mob members responsible for their loved ones' deaths.
