 A Fast-Moving Thriller February 28, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
If you like thrillers, this is a good choice. The plot is straight-forward. The protagonist is a sympathetic figure - a police officer fired from his job for losing control and pounding on a serial killer he arrested. Jack Carpenter, the ex-officer, is broke, separated from his wife, and living in a tiny place above a bar on the beach in south Florida. But the serial killer has a slick attorney who is getting him out of prison, based on Jack's impulsive action. And the killer is out for revenge against Jack and women who testified against him. Jack has to act quickly to save his life and the lives of the women. The fast-moving story reads smoothly, and tension keeps building to a blistering climax.

"I've read all of Swain's novels, and this is the best. A thriller set in South Florida, the action never lets up, and the characters are believable and achingly drawn. Jack Carpenter and his intrepid dog Buster will be around for a long time."

Drastic shift from Tony Valentine February 1, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you're a fan of Tony Valentine from the author's earlier series you might be surprised by this book. It is a great read, much tougher, grittier than expected. Strong pacing and surprises throughout. I like this book for so many of the reasons you read mystery or thrillers.
 Not what I was hoping for January 28, 2008
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
I ordered this book after reading the reviews. I found myself plodding through it waiting to get immersed in the plot but never did. I would have preferred more character and background development. The twists and turns in the final part were a stretch for my imagination. I read so many mysteries that sometimes it is hard to find new ones. I had hoped that Mr. Swain would be a "find" but this just didn't do it for me.
