Product Description

Product Description

The call came in the middle of the night. Rich Brant was just sweating through another Vietnam nightmare when the phone rang.

“It’s Kit,” his brother moaned. “They’ve taken her.”

They don’t know what they’ve done…

Kidnapped from a busy mall, Brant’s beloved 19-year old niece is in a world of trouble. Hard-nosed inquiries suggest that she has been snatched for auction by the international sexual slavery ring run by the ruthless Goran, also known as The Serb. Kit’s final destination: a modern harem, a brothel, a dungeon, or one of the Serb's kinky slavery clubs.

Or worse.

Now Brant will need his inconsistent and sometimes unreliable psychic ability more than he ever did in Vietnam and what came after… He reconnects with his Vietnam buddies, some of them ex-cops, to help him pry Kit from Goran’s clutches.

Brant becomes rescuer, avenging angel -- and executioner. In his quest, there may be redemption for his own past sins. Or there may only be new sins…

If you liked the movie "Taken," let SAVAGE NIGHTS take you much, much farther into the darkness.... Will appeal to fans of "Taken" and Lee Child's Reacher books, but only if they prefer a pulls-no-punches hard-noir thriller that's not for the faint of heart.

Includes bonus material: excerpts from other horror thrillers by W.D. Gagliani, and a complete crime short story by David Benton and W.D. Gagliani (excerpt from the Benton & Gagliani collection, Mysteries & Mayhem).

"I was familiar with Gagliani's horror work but I'm pleased to see he can take it to the streets, too. Tense, raw, and rich with drama and passion. Gagliani's a keeper."
-- Scott Nicholson, author of The Skull Ring, The Red Church, and Disintegration

"SAVAGE NIGHTS is, in a word, intense! ... The action in this book is incredible. As I got closer to the pinnacle of the plot, it was as if I could not read fast enough. My eyes flew across the words, hungry for what would happen next. I was surprised at some of the twists and turns, and when the story was over, I was exhausted. It was that intense."
-- Tiffany Harkleroad, Tiffany's Bookshelf

"I truly enjoyed it and the pages kept turning... the suspense grew, the shocks had real jolt, and the big scenes were big and satisfying...better than (David) Morrell!"
-- Brian Pinkerton, author of Abducted and Vengeance

W.D. Gagliani is the also author of WOLF'S TRAP, WOLF'S GAMBIT, WOLF'S BLUFF, WOLF'S EDGE (2011), SHADOWPLAYS, and MYSTERIES & MAYHEM (w/ David Benton). All are available on Amazon Kindle and other e-formats. Gagliani is a member of the Horror Writers Association (HWA), the International Thriller Writers (ITW) and the Authors Guild.

Praise for WOLF'S TRAP:

"The best werewolf novel since The Howling!"
-- J.A. Konrath, author of Bloody Mary, Rusty Nail, Cherry Bomb

"Gagliani has brought bite back to the werewolf novel. "
-- CNN.com Headline News Book Lizard review by James Argendeli

"Part horror tale, part crime novel, this is first-rate entertainment that will keep you reading deep into the moonlit night."
-- Tom Piccirilli, author of The Dead Letters and The Coldest Mile

"Simply put, this book rocks. It's fun, exciting, gritty, sexy, and nasty..."

WOLF'S GAMBIT:

"A great big bloody beast of a book that enthralls the reader on multiple levels. Vicious, gory, sexy, fascinating--part-supernatural thriller, part-police procedural, pure dynamite!"
-- Edward Lee, author of Brides of the Impaler, The Black Train, and The Golem

"... a real nail-biter of a werewolf book. Absolutely first rate!"
-- Jonathan Maberry, author of The Wolfman, Zombie CSU, and They Bite

WOLF'S BLUFF:

"Gagliani once more proves that werewolves are scary as hell. The book is fast, vicious and thoroughly satisfying."

-- Jonathan Maberry, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Wolfman and The Dragon Factory

By Robin
Format:Kindle Edition
I found this book, absorbing, with lots of twists and turns, even to the end,
could not get enough of this book, shame it came to an end, if crime thrillers with mystery twists are your thing, I would say, read this book you will enjoy.

A pacy thriller 24 July 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
This is a story of an ex Vietnam vet whose niece is kidnapped possibly for a sex slavery ring.

I so enjoyed this, it was pacy, punchy and definetly not for the faint hearted! I was lucky enough to recieve a free copy in order to review the story and I am so glad I did. It was an amazing ride. I found myself turning the pages faster and faster in order to find out what happened. The story progressed at an even pace, taking us from 2 different perspectives but we were always informed so there was never any confusion. The characters were solid and believable, and I found myself in the head of the lead character very easily. I enjoyed this so much I would be more than happy to read more by this author.

Savage Nights is, in a word, INTENSE! 18 Jun 2010
By Tiffany A. Harkleroad - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Kit is a college co-ed from a dysfunctional family. While shopping at the mall with her polar opposite room mate, she is abducted, and thrown into the world of human sex slave trafficking. Her uncle, Rich Brandt, a Viet Nam vet with a quasi-psychic ability, is determined to find Kit alive, and take down the evil people who put her in danger. Along the way, unlikely enemies are uncovered, and even unlikelier allies are gained. Will Rich find her in time?

When he asked to review this book, the author, W.D. Gagliani cautioned me the there was a lot of sex and violence in the novel. I wondered if it would serve a purpose, and as I read the book, I knew that it did. The book focuses on the seedy world of the sex trade, specifically human trafficking. To delve into this world with out expressing sex and violence would be like talking about candy without mentioning sugar. It just would not taste right. True to the caution, there is a lot of sex and violence in the book, but it is not overly gratuitous, and let's face it, there is a lot of sex and violence in the world.

The action in this book is incredible. As I got closer to the pinnacle of the plot, it was as if I could not read fast enough. My eyes flew across the words, hungry for what would happen next. I was surprised at some of the twists and turns, and when the story was over, I was exhausted. It was that intense.

Make no mistake, this book is gritty, and hard core. Not something I would normally read. This is way beyond your normal thriller, because you not only have the crisis situation of Kit's abduction, you are dealing with combat induced PTSD, dirty cops, and backstabbing friends. At times, I felt really ill prepared, from a knowledge standpoint, about the weapons and military strategy discussed, but I the story was so compelling, I pushed through the parts that lacked context for a simple housewife like me.

I think that male readers especially will devour this book, with vigor. I also think there is a good market for other female thriller fans who, like me, will appreciate the book in a much different way than men.

All in all, I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it. Keep in mind there are adult themes at work here, so prepare yourself for that, but as I mention, they are not overly graphic, and do serve a purpose in the storyline.

I am looking forward to reading more from this author, and am glad I got a chance to read outside my element a bit!

Timely 4 July 2010
By Reader/author - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Unfortunately, rather than being sensationalist this is timely. A few weeks ago I watched a really disturbing documentary on MSNBC about sex trafficking in Europe and Mexico and parts of the US, and as the father of a duaghter I've seen and been upset by the film 'Taken." Gagliani takes his time creating his characters, letting us understand what is simmering under the surface of his protagonist, and then drags us along for a classic tale of revenge with several intriguing twists. It's a good, solid read on a couple of different levels, from the author of the horror novel "Wolf's Trap."

Don't let the title fool you! Good Gruesome read 28 Sep 2011
By B. Fegley - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Without having any indication what may truely lay ahead in this book, I forged ahead...after all , I did enjoy the movie "Taken". This book is NOT LIKE the book. There are some rather grafic scenes, they are written so well, that you could almost smell what the character was looking at while you are reading the pages. A bit of adult relations' are in this book,and tourture. I would not be comfortable letting anyone under 18 read this. As an adult, I found the book very enjoyable, descriptive, twisted plots and characters. Enjoyed the references and passages regarding the Vietnam war. I would read another story by this author. I have paid no monies for this book, rather I read it and offered my review.
