JANUARY mag top ten
Just got word that Sins of the Assassin was tagged as one of the top ten mystery/thrillers by JANUARY magazine, along with books by Lawrence Block, Lee Child, and James Lee Burke. Very good company and a fine way to end the year.
The third volume of the trilogy, Heart of the Assassin, comes out Summer, 2009. I'll post the first chapter in a few months.

First newspaper review
Adam Woog, writing for the Seattle Times, gives Sins of the Assassin a great review. Here's an excerpt:
Ferrigno has always had a gift for writing vivid characters, especially bad guys; his villains tend to be both really, really bad and highly charismatic. This new book has some humdingers, including the Colonel's genuinely nasty right-hand man and a shadowy, fanatical Muslim billionaire who pulls global strings from aboard his luxury yacht.Ferrigno also has an eye for the kinds of detail that bring a setting to life. Here, he has a lot of fun inventing these touches, such as the site of the Branch Davidian disaster in Waco. It's now a tourist attraction with re-enactments of the siege and plenty of souvenirs for the kids.
I salute you, sir!
