Book Review By Diane Frasier
Vineyard Prey by Phillip R. Craig

Small town life on Martha's Vineyard is turned upside down when an old army buddy asks for help in eluding the Easter Bunny, a world famous assassin. Three US agents have been eliminated in the past few days and now the killer ready to finish the job. When agents hit the island, and begin getting murdered in J.W. Jackson's front yard, there's no way out but to track down the killer.

The former Boston cop must rely on his wits and a little luck to solve the puzzle of who's killing government agents. But are the deaths really pay back for his friends' participation in secret government work or twisted revenge for a mission gone bad?
