           About the book

"Six-Gun Two-Step" is a contemporary suspense tale set in Northeast Ohio, Manhattan and the Captiva/Sanibel/Ft. Myers Beach area of Florida.  Timely and fast paced, it explores the links between the growing threat of Central American gangs, the international drug trade and terror.

Ambitious MBA Wade Thomas is on the fast track for corporate success.  He has a beautiful home, a loving wife and son and a bright future in a growing firm.  He also has a slacker younger brother who, unknown to him, is a small time drug dealer.  When Timmy Thomas literally stumbles across a large stash of contraband and takes it for himself, he incurs the wrath of  a major criminal cartel anxious to recover its property.  As Timmy and his girlfriend Glendy scramble to stay one step ahead of their pursuers and cash in on their windfall, they pull their family and friends into a downward spiral of violence and retribution. 

Wade, his mother and sister, and Timmy's childhood friend Bobby Fallon find themselves forced to confront demons in themselves and evil beyond their experience. 

Will they free themselves from deadly events Timmy has set in motion?  Or are the shadowy forces moving against them more dangerous than they can possibly imagine?  "Six-Gun Two-Step" offers a chilling look at the impact of global events on everyday people.  Imagine the worst headlines from today's news knocking on your suburban door....

A Note of Thanks

William C. Duncan thanks all of his readers for their enthusiasm and support.  The overwhelming excitement you've shown has been extremely gratifying.  When so many people tell an author, "I couldn't put it down", he begins to believe them!  Thank you so much, one and all.

"It's a page turner...the events flow from previous events and the predilections of the characters the way they do in a great novel, surprisingly, yet aptly.  The way he captures the cultures of the big city...along with that of the upper middle class suburban set, is exquisite.

Be prepared to stay up half the night reading.

 This is a thriller that sizzles."
