Jack Cashman

Three Steps to the Making of an Assassin Jack Cashman

Two friends growing up in a small New England mill town share a misspent youth full of mischief and mayhem. Events around the Vietnam War lead their lives in completely different directions. While they maintain their friendship, the direction of their lives could not possibly be any more different.




One chooses a career in law, while the other leads a double life that includes killing for hire. In the end they are reunited in an effort to bring sanity back to their lives.







Jack Cashman has followed up his highly successful first novel, An Irish Immigrant Story, with his second novel about two young men growing up in a New England mill town in a turbulent period.




Jack lives in Hampden, Maine, with his wife, Betty, near their two sons Derek and Danny, their daughters-in-law, Michell and Karen and their five granddaughters, Katie, Sarah, Jackie, Carolyn and Brianne.
