About the Author:
Like the protagonists in his newest high-voltage thriller, Bill Branon sank his sailboat off the coast of Panama. Ship wrecked on an island inhabited by Cuna Indians. Branon lived many of the adventures portrayed in Spider Snatch, and he uses those real life experiences to spin a chilling story of betrayal, vengeance, and sacrifice.
A Harvard graduate, Branon spent 23 years in the military, including a stint in Naval Intelligence. He's widely known for his two action novels, Devil's Hole, a bestseller for Harper Collins, and Let Us Prey, a New York Times "Notable Book of the Year."
