Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Wants to be the next Jack Reacher by way of Silence of the Lambs and Tom Clancy. (And Batman). Mooney has an engaging, cinematic writing style but his justifying so much torture porn with so much virtue signaling left me cold. And there is a lot of torture porn. Mooney fails where Lee Childs doesn't because Reacher would never springboard the idea that 'we've all got it coming' into a few chapters on the surgical dismemberment of captive children to fuel the international black market in illegally harvested organs. I know this is just pulp fiction and needs to be shocking to be marketable but I'll skip his other books. ( ) I don't hand out 5 stars very often...only when they are really deserved and this one was well deserved. What a great thriller. The main character, Malcolm Fletcher, is absolutely fantastic. A former FBI profiler who has been living on the run for years after the bureau blames him for killing another agent. Now, with the help of a former CIA handler, he utilizes his amazing skill-sets to enact vigilante justice on some of the worst villains imaginable. This is book #1 in Chris Mooney's Malcolm Fletcher series. The story tracks some ubelievably sick characters who are involved in a string of mysterious kidnappings. If you like thrillers with intricate plots then you will want to read this one. I hope Mr. Mooney is busy writing Book 2. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
