Synopsis

In the spirit of Robert Crais and Michael Connelly comes the taut sequel to No Place to Die, author James L. Thane’s crime-fiction debut that the Arizona Republic declared “enthralling.”Phoenix has everything that comes with being the Sunbelt’s biggest boomtown—money, power, secrets, adultery, murder. It seems many of the richest and most respectable men in town are also clients of one very expensive escort, Gina Gallagher. When those upstanding husbands and fathers start turning up dead, seasoned homicide detective Sean Richardson and his partner, Maggie McClinton, start tracking down leads. But time is running out. The killer, desperate for some kind of personal justice, has Gallagher’s little black book and is working through the client list rapidly, methodically, brutally. Meanwhile, Richardson has problems of his own. Haunted by the recent death of his wife, he falls prey to private demons and finds himself doing a lot of things he knows he shouldn’t. The body count grows and the tension mounts as Richardson struggles with his own dark side while racing to stop a relentless killer.

I’m not going to pretend that this is in any way an objective review….. Jim Thane has been a longtime Goodreads friend, and I’ve often pointed to him as the example of how we all wish authors would behave on here.

Quotes

No Place to Die is a two-in-one treat, a convincing police procedural bolted to a nail-biter suspense novel. A good novel gives you real people in a real place, and James L. Thane delivers both with his skillfully drawn cops, victims and crooks in today’s Phoenix.” —Sam Reaves, author of Mean Town BluesNo Place to Die is an auspicious beginning to what I hope will become a series. Sean and Maggie make a great crime-solving team.” —Barbara D’Amato, author of Death of a Thousand Cuts
