Synopsis

From Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author of The Empty Chair and The Devil's Teardrop, comes his trademark "ticking-bomb suspense" (People) that explodes off the page in this heart-stopping thriller.

Hard-living Hollywood location scout John Pellam found the perfect backwater Missouri town for shooting a retro gangster film. But when real bullets leave two people dead and one cop paralyzed, Pellam—an unwitting witness to the brutal hits—is suddenly the South’s most wanted man. The feds and local police want him to talk. Mob enforcers want him silenced. And a mysterious blonde just wants him. Trapped in a town full of sinister secrets and deadly deceptions, Pellam must focus on facing down a killer before his own story fades to black.

This is the first Deaver book I've read that I didn't really like. It was written under a pseudonym and now that I've read it, I'm really glad he didn't put his real name on it. John Pellam is a Hollywood location scout on location in virtually deserted Maddox, Missouri. He has a poker party each wee......more

Goodreads review by Jessie

3.5 stars. Jeffery Deaver is an incredibly mystery writer, and I made an unspoken pact with myself earlier this year that I’d read some of his earlier stuff. Well this is Bloody River Blues, book 2 in the trilogy of John Pellam. Both the first book and this one have great plots, but it’s massively u......more

Ma gandesc serios daca voi continua sau nu seria, desi foarte rar abandonez o serie. Imi place foarte mult Jeffery Deaver, dar John Pellam nu mi se pare cel mai reusit personaj al sau.
