Get ONE WAY STREET, the second book in the Award-Winning Suspense/Thriller Series Everyone's Talking About! In his debut novel, REICHOLD STREET, author R.L. Herron created a powerful coming-of-age tale set in the tumultuous Vietnam War era that Kirkus Reviews called "Skillfully written and emotionally strong." Set during and immediately after the turbulent 1960s, the electrifying, 5-Star suspense-filled sequel, ONE WAY STREET, follows several key "Reichold Street" characters in a tense, gritty, historically-accurate thriller. Masterfully written in the manner of J.D. Salinger (Catcher in the Rye), William Golding (Lord of the Flies) and Stephen King (The Body), this powerful story follows them through the politics & fear of the war in Vietnam, the despondency and despair of veteran PTSD issues, the discovery of true love, the pain of loss, and the heart-pounding suspense of a murderous stalker. Kirkus Reviews "...the characters are bold, the plot twists surprising...Skillfully written and emotionally charged." Readers' Favorite Review "FIVE-STARS! ONE WAY STREET is a historical fiction novel... (that) continues R.L. Herron's coming of age story, Reichold Street...I found it to be an engrossing and complete stand-alone novel. I was blown away by the section of the book relating to Paul's service in Vietnam. I've read many historical and fictional war accounts, and Herron's coverage of Vietnam in ONE WAY STREET ranks up there with some of the best war-related literature...characters, both in war and peace, are finely drawn, and his writing style is accomplished and flowing. ONE WAY STREET is a memorable book, filled with characters you begin to feel you've known forever, who share growing up in turbulent times and who, I suspect, will stay vibrant in most readers' minds for some time after they finish the last page." Reviewed by Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite Top Book Reviewers "FIVE-STARS! ... ONE WAY STREET lives up to this author's talent. In ONE WAY STREET, Herron continues the journey of Paul Barrett and the friends that grew up with him...Herron's historical research and realistic descriptions of being a soldier in that war (Vietnam) are compelling. It changes everyone who was involved in it, including everyone at home. Paul returns home and learns how to deal with life after living through his experiences. He finally finds intense love and joy that is short lived. After that he descends into madness. He searches for answers in the past and, while doing so, finds out that someone is hunting him. Everything starts to come full circle and the consequences of the past keep you on the edge of your seat. There is a common thread that people identify with when hearing or reading about someone who grew up in the same neighborhood, and the stories about the kids that came and went. It is the same with war. Some desire to have that experience and so want to read about it, and others have been the one involved on the front lines. Part of Herron's charm as an author is that he writes a story many relate to...There are few writers who are able to pull that off, keep you engaged in the story and then give you the sense of complete enjoyment of having read "a good book." The first book was memorable and the second is equally gripping...literally could not put it down... The smooth rhythm and flow made this an easy book to read and enjoy. This author has proven his accomplishment with more than two great stories. He is here to stay and has become a favorite of mine.
