Paperback. MacArthur "Mac" Stahl stands out as the one of the world's foremost experts on treating tobacco addiction. With his wise-cracking persona and a past steeped in the tough streets of the Bronx and Manhattan, MacArthur "Mac" Stahl is far from your typical shrink. The son of a loan shark, he grew up surrounded by violence and criminality, shaping a tough exterior that contrasts with his genuine desire to help others conquer their addiction. Despite the rough edges, Mac has dedicated his life to aiding those trapped by tobacco and nicotine. His methods, crafted over decades of experience, have garnered him a reputation in his field as wildly successful with his patients. However, his commitment to his work has inadvertently placed him in the crosshairs of the most powerful players in the tobacco industry. In the sleek boardrooms of Big Tobacco, a sinister plan emerges to protect their staggering $100 billion per year empire at any cost. As profits are threatened, they devise a chilling strategy to eliminate the world's top tobacco addiction clinicians and researchers. As bodies begin to drop, Mac finds himself ensnared in a deadly game of cat and mouse, grappling with his past while navigating a threat that seems to have limitless resources and no moral compass. He isn't looking for a fight, but he isn't walking away from one either and losing means dying. Mac is not unfamiliar with violence and violent men. He has a brown belt in Hom Do Karate and hits the weights in the gym like he still plays college football. Amid the chaos, an unexpected romance develops, providing Mac with moments of hope and personal growth even as the forces of Big Tobacco close in. With each passing day, he must summon his street smarts, fighting skills, and intellect to survive and expose the corrupt enterprise targeting him. In a tense climax, Mac unravels a truth more sinister than he could imagine. Faced with tough choices between self-preservation and doing what's right, he navigates the complexities of survival in a ruthless world. Conversational and light-hearted, the first-person narrative blends humor and introspection. Vivid imagery and realistic dialogue deepen character dynamics. Themes of love and danger intertwine, creating a compelling, immersive reading experience. Ultimately, SMOKING GUNS is a compelling exploration of resilience and moral ambiguity in the fight against Big Tobacco and tobacco addiction. Seamlessly blending the suspense of a crime thriller with practical insights on addiction treatment, this novel offers a unique reading experience that informs as much as it entertains. Look for SMOKING GUNS to be adapted to the big or small screen. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
