About The Book:
Mix one badass IRS agent with a gang of murderous Mongolian drug
traffickers. Add an assortment of quirky but lovable characters, and
you’ve got the makings of a gripping thriller, aptly titled DEATH AND
TAXES (Aperient Press; June 2018) by Emmy Award-winning writer Mark
Zaslove. This riveting debut novel features Mark Douglas, an ex-Marine
turned IRS agent, who, along with auditing the weird and the profane,
also spearheads weekend raids with his gang of government-sanctioned
revenuers, merrily gathering back taxes in the form of cash, money
order, or more often than not, the debtor’s most prized possessions.
Things
turn ugly when Mark’s much-loved boss and dear friend Lila is tortured
and killed over what she finds in a routine set of 1040 forms. Mark
follows a trail dotted with plutonium-enriched cows, a Saudi sheik with
jewel-encrusted body parts, a doddering, drug sniffing, gun-swallowing
dog named The Cabbage, a billionaire Texan with a fetish for spicy
barbecue sauce and even spicier women, and an FBI field agent whose
nickname is “Tightass.” All of which leads to more and bloodier murders –
and greater danger for Mark.
With the help of
his IRS pals – Harry Salt, a 30-year vet with a quantum physical ability
to drink more than humanly possible; Wooly Bob, who’s egg-bald on top
with shaved eyebrows to match; Miguel, an inexperienced newbie with a
company-issued bullhorn and a penchant for getting kicked in the crotch –
Mark hunts down the eunuch hit man Juju Klondike and the cunning
Mongolian mob smuggling weapons-grade plutonium into the United States.
Under the watchful eye of the FBI, Mark and his scruffy gang enlist the
power of the IRS data bank to track the criminals and lure them to a
perilous rendezvous where everyone’s life is on the line. In the world
of DEATH AND TAXES, only the honest and brave can survive.
