Organized Crime. A missing detective. Outlaw Bikers. A Girl on the run....\nTwo opposing and mutually-exclusive lives meet for just a moment at a time and in a place where one of them shouldn't be. The fallout of this moment leaves a woman on the run from Organized Crime, and takes readers on a frantic plunge into the dark streets and back alleys of a richly-described criminal underworld. This story is a lurid, riveting, and cautionary tale of what happens when a spur-of-the-moment decision snowballs into major regrets and danger. It starts with the murder of an undercover police officer and then follows his girlfriend - the sole witness of the murder - as she is unwittingly and unwillingly pulled deeper and deeper into a dangerous culture ruled by Outlaw Bikers. Throughout this dark and gritty first novel, the characters perpetuate and suffer the effects of violence and victimization in raw, brutal, genuine, horrifying detail. Inspired by actual events, this shocking and terror-filled crime fiction plays out against a backdrop of bloody gang violence that spilled across Quebec in the 1990's - the Quebec Biker War. Novelist J. Kilburn brings readers to the dark side of seedy streets in this international tale of adventure, terror, and crime set in Montreal.\nInD'tale Magazine calls it "a heart-stopping tale of good versus evil." (July/August 2020 Edition, 4 out of 5 stars)\nHeaven's Door, a Novel by J. Kilburn is a shocking, disturbing, and horror-filled plunge into broken lives and malevolent acts. By its very nature this debut crime-horror tale is a story about depraved behavior: violence, Hedonism, commercialized sex, street-gang culture. It's NOT a story about ponies and rainbows and daisy-filled glades. This is a story about a dark and gritty world that's just down the block and around the corner from where the rainbow touches down.\nThis edition contains previews from the next novel by J. Kilburn - including an excerpt of the entire first chapter!
