Local resident Metro Sean Heller has released a debut novel, "Willing Pawn," which combines action-adventure, mystery, and romance. The book's target audience is mature teenager to adult.

In the book, three individuals - one volunteered, one blackmailed, and one desperate - make up a special team on a top-secret mission to uncover the truth. Joining them are two stowaways - one out to destroy the mission and the other to protect it. The journey to discover the truth involves piecing together eyewitness testimonies to paint a vivid picture of the events. If the team is successful, its mission will change the world forever.

"Willing Pawn" may be purchased at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Apple Books, ThriftBooks, and BAM! It is available in paperback, Kindle, and other e-book versions.
