Randall Krzak raises the bar of the thriller genre with Revenge, the action-packed second book in the Bruce and Smith series.
Javier retires from the Army and his despised desk job at the Pentagon. He lived for the action of working in the field, so as a civilian, he tries to build an international investigative agency called The Brusch Agency. Thanks to his connections from the military, he can do exactly the work he wants, with the people he chooses.
Krzak sets up this book meticulously, building conflicts in the first several chapters. Javier needs to apply for his concealed-carry permit and private investigator’s license while finding office space for his agency, but his plans are staggered as his condo is broken into and trashed. Despite his investigation and that of law enforcement, the culprit remains a mystery.
Despite a rough night on his slashed mattress, he focuses on business, getting his permit and license. When he starts receiving a series of threatening emails, he realizes the B and E job on his condo wasn’t random, and he enlists his friends and fellow Brusch Agency investigators to uncover this threat.
Krzak masterfully uses AJ, Javier’s romantic interest, to ramp up the heat as their relationship grows, but also the tension when her life is put on the line.
AJ helps Javier as a partner, and Krzak’s smart and sexy female lead can more than hold her own. She helps Javier find the new office building, and within a day, it’s his. He begins to build his team, with AJ first on the list, but she hasn’t yet committed to giving up her gig at the CIA.
The target on Javier’s back only gets bigger as his agency grows.
The Brusch Agency gets its first overseas client and job from the DEA, while juggling the threat to Javier.
Javier’s team, including Snakes from book one in the series, The Columbia Betrayal, works to uncover the details of Islamic State terrorist trainers who worked out of Mexico. They discover that the person seeking revenge on Javier was a survivor of the Mexico attack.
As they begin work on their mission in Bermuda for the DEA, Krzak shifts his plot into high gear.
The team starts to unravel the case, putting together names in the local drug mafia and discovering where the drugs are delivered.
Krzak deftly weaves between Javier and his team’s work on two investigations. All the while, Javier is growing closer to AJ, but as much as he wants to take their relationship to the next level, he can’t until he finishes these missions and resolves the danger to his life.
This thriller draws on the precision of a retired military author to build a world of international intrigue, one well-versed in international diplomacy and foreign military aid.
Krzak uses these details to create a fascinating novel. His characters will draw readers in with their development, and commitment to keeping one another alive. Lovers of Lee Child and Tom Clancy will appreciate Krzak’s world-building, the detailed scenarios, and the daring rescues put forth by his heroic characters.

The Grand Prize Winner for the CIBA 2022GLOBAL THRILLER Awards was:
Hybrid Hysteria
By Charlie Robinson
The 2023 GLOBAL THRILLER Book Awards winners will be announced at CAC24 on April 20, 2024. Save the date for CAC24, scheduled April 18-21, 2024, our 12 year Conference Anniversary!
Submissions for the 2024 GLOBAL THRILLERBook Awards are open until the end of October.Enter here!
Seating is Limited. The esteemed WRITER Magazine (founded in 1887) has repeatedly recognized the Chanticleer Authors Conference as one of the best conferences to attend and participate in for North America.
Speaking of our Chanticleer International Book Awards, remember that the 2023 CIBAs will be announced at our 12th Anniversary Conference on April 18-21, 2024! Seating is limited, so register today!
In this article, we’ll look through different types of research, including interviews, ethnographies, and place-based research. You can learn more from Carol M. Cram’s article here on tapping experts for your book.
1. Interview for Research
This is a simple and reliable option to learn more about the subject at hand. For example, one of our favorite Chanticleerians, Janet Oakley (interviewed here), is no stranger to tracking down people to talk to in order to complete her novels. In writing her book, The Jøssing Affair (read the review here) set in occupied Norway during WWII, Oakley interviewed people who lived through the occupation to better understand what they went through.
In giving an interview, you often want to start out with the easier questions, warming your subject up and giving them a chance to relax into the easy rhythm of responding. This gives you a chance to form a connection with a real person that might even last beyond the interview, and it lets you warm up to more difficult questions.
2. Ethnography for Research
Ethnography refers to observing people from the outside to better understand how they work. If you’re writing a police procedural (as one might for the Clue Awards) and want to capture the atmosphere in a police station, you might ask to sit in one for a while and take notes.
In conducting good ethnographic research, you want to record the day of the week, the time, and a basic standard for how you take notes. If it’s quiet, how do you interpret the quiet and why? Is it the end of the day when people are ready to go off shift or has something bad happened that’s set a pall over the precinct? How do those quiets look different to you?
You’ll record the day of the week and the time because places look different at different times. There’s a Friday feel, even at places that work through the weekend, and any obstetrician will tell you the difference between a normal workday and a full moon.
3. Place-Based Research
This is similar to ethnography except you are going and spending time in the location where your work takes place – whether Non-Fiction or Fiction. You can bet that Janet Oakley also went to Norway to better understand what living there would be like and see what changes have taken place since WWII. Plus, it’s always easier to find people to interview in the country that you’re writing about.
Fantasy writers travel to new lands through portals in trees.
The question to ask here is how does the setting become a character for you in a way that will let your reader believe that the place is real. And remember, just because it is real or what you’re describing really happened a certain way, that doesn’t mean the way you’ve described it is believable to the reader. Having the extra experience of actually lived or visited the place that you’re writing about adds that extra touch of veracity.
4. Research Map
As you embark on your research you can begin your research map. We recommend starting with your central question. Oakley’s question for The Jøssing Affair was “What would it be like to be a couple in occupied Norway?”
From this point she can begins to expand into other interests as she goes through the story. As you start your research map, you might end up finding out that your central question, while great for generating research, might not end up being the focus of the story. Be open, let the ideas take you where they need to go in the story.
5. Find a Second Pair of Eyes
Once you’ve put everything together it’s easy to be so close to your work that you can’t be objective about it in a regular novel, but once you start using research it can fall into many pitfalls. Maybe your historical novel starts to sound too much like a travelogue, or your lab lit begins to like a textbook instead of a thriller. Inviting someone from outside your area of the specialized novel is a great way to find out how your readers will react to your text.
We always recommend a Manuscript Overview that does a deep dive into the general strokes of your book followed by our Editorial Services to move step by step through your book and really make it sing.
No matter where you are in your story, you should be proud of the work you have put in so far! Research is difficult, and we know you’re on your way to great things!

The Chameleon: A Jake Palmer Novel by Ron McManus takes on one of the most terrifying issues in the modern world: nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorists.
Amidst the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan, the world’s superpowers recognize that both nations possess large nuclear arsenals, which intelligent, well-armed fanatics threaten to steal for their own nefarious purposes. If these weapons went off, they could easily lead to World War III. To prevent this, the U.S. eagerly takes on the role of supervising the security of these weapons in both countries.
In this terrorism thriller, India and Pakistan clash over the disputed Kashmir region. Pakistan’s leaders decide to secretly deploy a variety of nuclear weapons to the front, sending them along backroads in unmarked trucks. But in a carefully planned attack, terrorists kidnap one of these vehicles containing three nuclear weapons, before substituting a precise duplicate truck to take its place. The theft is not discovered until the decoy truck reaches its destination.
Jake Palmer, a decorated former SEAL, attorney, and investigative consultant, returns again in this fourth installment of the Jake Palmer series.
U.S. military Command assigns Palmer to oversee the security of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons during the conflict. He arrives in Islamabad, Pakistan, just as the terrorists pull off the truck switch. A chance satellite photo captures a mysterious road incident involving the truck, giving Palmer and U.S. Intelligence a hint that something has gone wrong.
It’s now up to Palmer and his team to follow up on this report and sift through myriad unconnected details to discover the theft, and more importantly, where and how the terrorists plan to use the weapons.
McManus offers a grounded, complicated thriller full of intrigue and intense danger.
The Chameleon tells its story with remarkable attention to detail and a clear depth of research, giving readers a full understanding of historical, armament, military, and political situations. This well-constructed narrative shows the reader a variety of perspectives and a realistic view of the world’s potential conflicts.
Palmer is a professional. He’s not given to glib conversation, patriotic speeches, or sentiment. Even a possible romance doesn’t take his laser-like focus away from identifying the crime and stopping its horrific potential. This story stands both as part of a series and on its own. Unfamiliar readers can jump right into this volume and not miss a thing, but instead find a new series to explore.
The best thrillers shine with authenticity, and The Chameleon is no exception.
You walk through the crowded streets of Pakistan, join meetings in command centers in Washington and London, and ride the cramped trucks where terrorists do their dirty work. Readers will understand the jargon, the agony that comes with making the right decision at the right time, and the sweat of fear when something goes horribly wrong.
This mystery holds some of its secrets even to the end. We never meet The Chameleon, nor see what happens from their point of view. The brilliant, evil puppet master who planned these events remains an enigma, but perhaps a subsequent volume will tell their story.
For readers who enjoy an intelligent thriller that draws much from the real world, The Chameleon is a must-read.
