“I read a lot of books and I think it says something about the book and the author when I read a book and even after I’m done reading it I think about it for days. Its definitely one of the better books I’ve read lately.”
EVAN BUCKLEY THRILLERS #2
A man who can’t remember.
Another who refuses to forget.
Somewhere in the middle lies the truth.
Jesse, a garden-variety, egocentric rich guy with an unerring penchant for shooting himself in the foot, is being blackmailed after a visit to an up-market strip club owned by the local crime boss. The problem is he doesn’t remember a thing about it—even after a wad of explicit photographs arrive in the mail one morning, making him choke on his cheerios.
Jesse panics and hires college buddy and maverick private investigator, Evan Buckley—no stranger to self-induced mayhem himself— to investigate. Nothing is what it seems when Evan heads down to the endless grass and millionaire stud farms surrounding Louisville, home of the Kentucky Derby, where he finds it’s not all old South charm and mint juleps and he’s soon caught up in a lethal game of double-crossing, pain and bloodshed.
Meanwhile, Jesse’s getting antsy—one of the photographs has gone missing and he suspects his wife has found it—so when the situation gets unbearable at home he heads back to confront the blackmailers himself, making Evan’s job almost impossible in the process—not to mention infinitely more dangerous for both of them. As the bodies pile up around him, Evan is forced to choose between his gut instinct and the apocryphal evidence—and the only thing he knows for sure is that any wrong step will be his last.

Another excellent story in the Evan Buckley series written by a master wordsmith. Excellent plot with lots of twists and turns that surprised me with each page turn. 20 years of family strife and revenge make this an interesting read. Don’t miss it. This is the type of story that will probably in some ways haunt you forever. I know, it will me.

Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great crime thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. A very easy rating of 5 stars.

Evan Buckley gets better with each book. As do the story lines. I’ve read these three in a row in only two days! Ready for the next one!

One of the best I’ve read in a while. Plenty to keep any reader totally engrossed. The twist at the end surprised the heck out of me.

Compelling. Fast-paced story that leaves unanswered questions. There is violence but no drag-you-down drama. Intriguing storyline with plenty of twists and gallows humor. Believable characters with distinct personalities. Realistic procedures, actions and reactions. Classic quote and entertaining dialogue.

Wow. I have just found a new author to love and follow. I love the honest grittiness of this new character, his flaws, his heart and his determination. James Harper seems to know the human condition very well and explores it in his writing. With gripping plots and a few helpers this books comes to a very satisfying ending. I recommend it. Soooo good.
