When Private Investigator John Wesley Tucker is sent to locate a young man forced into hiding after rescuing a helpless woman from the leader of a vicious street gang, he finds himself in mortal danger and in need of help from an old friend.
Whether he’s trying to avoid a firefight in the belly of a Cyprus bayou, apprehend the killer of an illegal immigrant, or contend with the hidden agenda of a federal agent while attempting to thwart a domestic terrorist attack, John confronts the evil that dwells in the shadows of our lives.
Certainly there is more about him than meets the eye, but is he even human?
A detective mystery, a thriller, and an exploration of current conflicting ideas and beliefs, filled with intrigue, action, betrayal and a distinctly spiritual twist, Special Agent is contemporary, suspenseful, relevant and at times, violent. The setting is in East Texas, offering a unique cultural point of view not often depicted.

While John Wesley Tucker did indeed discuss more about The Lord and His place in John's life, it really didn't detract from the book. At least, I didn't think so. It's a Shepherd's very nature to keep the sheep safe. In this Shepherd's case, this also meant talking with them about their eternal lives.All of that aside for a minute, (though I don't really how it can be set aside), this was absolutely edge of your seat entertainment at its finest.
Yes, a few consistent typos bothered me as well, "stand bye" into two words AND spelled wrong instead of "standby", springs immediately to mind. But that was a tiny part of the reading experience and not enough to detract from the storyline and the excitement of this book. I never saw the FBI bust toward the end of the book happening the way it did. Ever. Mr. Banks completely surprised me with that one!
If you're expecting a Christian Fiction crime novel, with great characters and a thrilling storyline, that's EXACTLY what you'll get! Here's hoping you enjoyed it as much as I did!

SPECIAL AGENT Angels Imperfections Book Two edition by Daniel Roland Banks Dan Arnold Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
I have not read the first of the series, and this review is a stand-alone one without prior knowledge of the characters (although I'm starting to suspect that the main character is a Christian angel in human disguise).
John Wesley Tucker is a private investigator and owner of Tucker Investigations in Tyler, Texas. In the beginning of the book, he heads for Magnolia, Arkansas, to find and protect Diondro, a young man who is on a street-gang's hit-list for having saved one of their victims from being assaulted. Later, in the course of another investigation, Tucker stumbles upon a domestic terrorism plot by a Christian fundamentalist group, the Righteous Patriot’s Brigade (RPB), and finds himself smack in the middle of an FBI-organized operation.
I'm in two minds about this book. On the plus side, I found it to be very well-written and edited, apart from a few minor glitches - ex "stand bye" instead of "stand by". I must mention three scenes in particular that are excellent - John Wesley Tucker's and Diondro's escape from would-be assassins in the bayou, the discussion of Reverend Jefferson's habit of appending 'Amen', 'Bless God', 'Bless the Lord', 'Hallelujah' in every sentence and why this seems odder than some people's habit of peppering swear words in everything (it was something I hadn't considered), and the FBI attack on the old farmhouse where the RPB are meeting.
I also, for most part, liked the character and voice of John Wesley Tucker. He comes across as a kind, caring man. It startled me when, out of the blue, he started spouting Christian religious dogma. It had nothing to do with the story and I thought it was a joke, but, no, he went on and on. And I found myself sympathizing with Diondro's and Special Agent Doug Booker's irritation with him in this matter. Nice Tucker had metamorphized into smug Tucker.
An example (Tucker talking to his assistant, Christina Valakova)-
“We wouldn’t have hope without our faith, would we?” She asked, rhetorically.
“Makes you wonder where the atheist finds hope."
While this might work as a potshot at a delicate-minded atheist, I'm not sure what it has to do with taking the story forward.
This really would have been a better book without the Christian religious topping. It is too overt and disjointed, like it is forced into the narrative rather than being an organic part of it, and it both distracts and detracts from what is otherwise quite an interesting story.
I have no problem with what people want to believe in, but to constantly voice these beliefs in inappropriate situations to people who don't share them and who are not interested in discussing them is rude and insensitive.
Disclaimer - I received a free copy of this book for an honest, non-reciprocal review.
So, I’ve never read a Christian crime novel before. I was definitely interested in it because I’m a Christian and because I (sometimes) enjoy crime books. This was different and surprising. It pulled in religious aspects while keeping an entertaining undertone and managed to find a good balance between faith and fiction. Being a Christian myself may make me bias in my review but I still think anyone could enjoy this read regardless of their belief system. Though, if you don’t have any interest in religion and don’t want to hear about it, then I’m not really sure why you’d pick up a copy and then complain about the religious aspects of it.
The main character, John Tucker, was a little dry for me. He seemed almost robotic but I think it worked for the story, in that sort of position you kind of have to be removed to a certain degree to get any real work done. I just wanted more humor or personality from him.
The action was excellently written and the pacing was spot-on. It was faster in the thrilling scenes but the details and dialogue really carried readers through the chapters which helped explain a lot of the important parts of the investigation. It all reads like an old detective novel but it’s got enough oomph to pack a roller coaster punch.
I have to remember that this is the second book in the series so I was a bit confused on some parts that may have related to the first book but the writing was strong enough to keep me interested regardless. The editing was well done, I appreciated the fact that I didn’t stumble through the book, hopping over misspelled words or missing words altogether. The overall concept pulled together tightly which gave me enough interest to consider grabbing the first copy so I can keep up with the series.
I hope that Christian fiction continues in this direction. This book serves as a great example that religious reads can stand on equal ground with secular novels. Banks may have just opened a new door for this kind of fiction.
