Organized crime. An undercover police officer. A murder. An accidental witness. These are the elements of a unique story about love, loss, adventure, hope, and terror: Heaven’s Door, a Novel by J. Kilburn. Part noir crime novel, part historical fiction, part suspense-thriller, and part bad-ass biker story, this genre-busting book introduces the fictional TOPDOGS Motorcycle club and plunges readers into a richly-described Organized Crime underworld set in a major port city. Inspired by actual events and presenting a well-imagined, carefully-spun plot and well-developed characters woven into and against the backdrop of a very real gang war that occurred in Quebec in the 1990’s, this story is a lurid, riveting, and cautionary tale of what happens when a spur-of-the-moment decision – throw in your lot with a cute biker boyfriend who you know far too little about – snowballs into major regrets and danger. The story starts with the murder of the undercover police officer and follows the girlfriend – the sole witness of the murder – as she is unwillingly and unwittingly pulled deeper and deeper into an organized crime underworld and biker culture while the fallout of her boyfriend’s murder unfolds.

Note to readers: This tale contains disturbing content. It’s a book about Bad-Boy Bikers, felons, strippers, violence, depraved behavior and victims… I would be shocked if you DIDN’T find it disturbing. That said, “it’s a GOOD book about TERRIBLE things….”
