From Goodreads:
Someone is killing literary agents, and Jack Harden’s only reason to live is to find the killer. This modern-day Texas Ranger is haunted by his wife’s death a year ago and the urge to kill the drunk driver who took her, or kill himself. Enter Elsie Rodriguez, the young reporter assigned to the murders for her newspaper and ordered to stay with Jack Harden. He’s old school, tough, and doesn’t want her there. Theirs is a complex, often stormy relationship, but the big Ranger triggers something inside her, something more than her Latin temper. They weave their way from the busy streets of Dallas to the River Walk in San Antonio, across the Hill Country, and to the limestone caverns of Sonora in a desperate chase.
Can she pull Jack from the edge of sanity, back to the living? Or will it end with a psychopath taking two more lives and living to write about it?
My Thoughts:
I was pretty excited to read this book. I know the author's wife through my mom. She talked with us about how weird it was that her husband could write these murder mysteries so well. I think she may have even used the word "disturbing". I was immediately intrigued and absolutely had to read it. I love a good thriller and if there are segments from the villain's point of view it's even better.
A man ready to end his life sits down the gun to solve one more case, and it just may be the one that makes him feel like life is worth living. Jack Harden is a very troubled Texas Ranger looking for an even more troubled murderer. Someone is killing literary agent, by the book.
This was a very interesting read and I wasn't disappointed at all with the purchase. It went by quick and I really enjoyed it. If you like a good thriller with an end that surprises this is a book for you.
