One of the last things a man did before he and his wife went on a Mediterranean cruise was set up a security camera at their house. Maybe it seemed a little paranoid, but better safe than sorry, right? When he's finally able to log on for the first time, his fears are unfounded—wait, why does the living room seem brighter than when they left? Did the front door just open? He watches, aghast, as an intruder enters their house and heads up to their bedroom.

While he readies for the intruder to steal his wife's diamonds Dead Man Running he didn't let her bring on the Dead Man Runninghe is utterly unprepared for the woman's body on their bed. Not to mention what the intruder does Dead Man Running the body The intruder turns out to be Martin Livermore, a gifted scientist who is the suspect in the abduction and murder of at least five other women. The FBI has been hunting him for a while, but he's never been this sloppy before. When he is apprehended returning to the vacationers' home for another encounter with his latest victim, the feds feel victorious, but they can't help Dead Man Running wonder why it seems as if he was trying to get caught this time. Livermore once again gets the upper hand, when he refuses to speak to anyone but Alex McKnight, a former police officer and private investigator from the small town of Paradise, Michigan. McKnight has no idea Dead Man Running Livermore has involved him, can't figure out any connection to this murderer whatsoever. But Livermore knows too much about him, and Alex is a crucial part of a tangled, dangerous plot that Livermore is about to put in Dead Man Running. With each action, Livermore ups the stakes, and as Alex races to figure out why the murderer has drawn him into his schemes, the danger continues to Dead Man Running, and it threatens to affect him Dead Man Running places he'd never expect. How do you catch a criminal mastermind who has targeted you, who taunts you with his crimes, Dead Man Running knows your every step before you Dead Man Running it? Alex faces off with a relentless killer, and only one of them can survive. In a veritable Dead Man Running full of thriller writers, Steve Hamilton is the real deal. He's one of the rare breed of authors in this genre who can write pulse-pounding action scenes while creating Dead Man Running with depth, characters you root for and care about. Every time I read another one of his books I say the same thing—I cannot understand why he isn't a household name, because his books are far superior a little Dead Man Running humor to many more popular authors. Still, it was good to see Alex have to leave his comfort zone and try and figure out his connection to Livermore. While I don't love villains who are always one step ahead of everyone else, and who can always outsmart law enforcement, Livermore was one creepy character who made me shudder. His diversions were pretty dastardly. Dead Man Running is a prime example of a writer at his peak. If you've never read any of Dead Man Running books, you don't know what you're missing. Whether you read his Alex McKnight series, Dead Man Running newer series featuring Nick Mason, or one of his standalone books, you'll see this is an Dead Man Running whose name you should see on books being read everywhere you look. Hopefully someday soon the world will catch on to what I've known for years—Hamilton is one of the best. Thanks for making this available! See all of my reviews at itseithersadnessoreuphoria.

Bland and formulaic thriller that as, per usual, relies on the rape, torture, and murder of women with little purpose. View 1 comment. Over those five years, Alex has been plowing the snow in Paradise, Michigan, chopping wood, spending time in the Glasgow Inn, drinking with Vinnie, and taking the occasional PI case. He now works as a fugitive recovery specialist, aka bounty hunter. But Alex is drawn out of Paradise this time. I stayed up way past my usual bedtime. Then the pace leveled out. It still held my interest, even after that initial adrenaline burst faded. All in all, I enjoyed this book and the ending leads me to believe Steve Hamilton has more in Dead Man Running for Alex McKnight. Bring it on! View all 13 comments. I'm not sure Dead Man Running this was but it didn't seem like an Alex McKnight book to me. Hoping for a Dead Man Running better read, like i am used to, with whatever Dead Man Running write next.

That is the big question, and Hamilton has the plot twist-and- turn for most of the novel before answering it. But with Livermore free, it allows Hamilton to Dead Man Running a cat-and-mouse game between Alex and Martin that builds tension—and then builds even more tension. Martin is a particularly evil and dangerous foe. View 2 comments.
