The Ted Burns series Tom Penna

Can love and goodwill survive in the face of evil? Ted Burns had abetted in murder and now considers his options with hit number 2 in planning. While still deciding his own path Burns finds romance and friendship, a decade after the loss of his wife and friendship, even a sense of fatherhood while caring for two Swedish backpackers. The bad guys in the silver Citroen cross the Burns' path with violent consequences and the concept of vigilante justice becoming a stronger option to fleeing from the intense circumstances that are building. Set against the backdrop of a drought-ravished outback cattle station, the majestic beauty of the Whitsunday Islands and the vastness of the Coral Sea, Ted Burns sees things that he wished he hadn't. OPTION THREE: Options sometimes come in threes, sometimes they don't come at all. As the body count mounts Burns' options of distancing himself from this madness dwindle as his own life faces a violent ending.
