If you enjoy psychological thrillers then I strongly recommend this. A dark tale of the effects that PTSD can have on the mind. 'The Sandman', seeking revenge for years of abuse at the hands of the FBI and Detective Jack Casey, small town cop and ex-FBI profiler who is still coming to terms with the brutal murder of his wife and unborn child at the hands of a psychopath, leads the investigation to track down 'the Sandman' while attempting to protect those he loves and maintain his own sanity. Throw in Jack's girlfriend and niece, a 'government sanctioned' assassin, Jack's animosity towards Alan Lynch, his previous FBI boss, the mysterious Malcolm Fletcher (who reminded me of James Spader's character from 'The Black List') along with copious amounts of C4 and Semtex and the recipe for chaos is complete.… (mer)

Gripping and tense, but becomes too complex and divided and ultimately a disappointing ending.

In the last couple of months I have rediscovered some of my favourite long forgotten Author's and their characters, Sara Paretsky and 'V. I. Warshawski Peter Robinson and Detective Banks and now Chris Mooney and the irrepressible Darby McCormick. WHY were they left so long on the to be read pile, I don't know all are absolute quality. This is clever gripping imaginative and intelligent thriller, and at times heart in your mouth cannot turn the pages quick enough unputdownable read. Darby is ballsy brave fearless and smarter than the average bear to quote an ancient cartoon of my youth. Whilst it is the fifth book in the series and there are numerous references to previous cases it can be read as a standalone story, my advice start at the beginning, a very good place to start this excellent series.
Completely recommended.

Wants to be the next Jack Reacher by way of Silence of the Lambs and Tom Clancy. (And Batman). Mooney has an engaging, cinematic writing style but his justifying so much torture porn with so much virtue signaling left me cold. And there is a lot of torture porn. Mooney fails where Lee Childs doesn't because Reacher would never springboard the idea that 'we've all got it coming' into a few chapters on the surgical dismemberment of captive children to fuel the international black market in illegally harvested organs. I know this is just pulp fiction and needs to be shocking to be marketable but I'll skip his other books.… (mer)
