Just finished this a few moments ago. Although it was a thrill ride, I have to admit I really did not like the ending, though of course it went well with the title. I guess the real problem I have is that several of the characters that were very astute and intelligent in the beginning of the seri...

Tension-wise this series has been cruising alon...

What happened back there? she wondered. There he was, standing in his office, and he’s clearly out of the picture—wouldn’t say so to her face, but she’d seen defeat in his eyes, his posture, I quit written all over him—and a couple of minutes later he’s jumping into the elevator with her and not ...
Please, just kill me!” At least that was what Reggie was trying to say. He knew his lips were moving but had no clue as to what he sounded like, or if he sounded at all. Or if anyone was nearby to hear him. They’d moved him, he knew that. He could feel cool air on his face, but that was all he co...

It was steady work, with benefits, and I got to go to Pemberton High. He pushed me to take my school work seriously, and I did.

Her favorite place in the world was Manhattan, her favorite pastime was shopping, and when she was shopping in midtown—heaven. At the curb she stopped and turned to stare at the pert blonde who’d just passed. She couldn’t believe it. “Helene? Helene Ryder, is that you?” The blonde turned. Her eye...
Laura said, occupying the same seat in Stahlman’s van as this morning, “we’ve got to set some ground rules.” By late this afternoon, after a long conversation with Steven and a lot of thinking, she’d made up her mind.

"As requested, sir." "Thank you." As Ybarra left, the Oculus picked up the paper but did not unfold it. He feared the headline. If it said nothing about the Bay Ridge apartment, the woman and the child would have another day, perhaps more, to live. But if the story was there… He took a breath, he...

On a normal night he'd have his face all but buried in the pair of gravy-slathered country-fried steaks. They didn't serve anything like this in Creighton and he'd been sort of bingeing since he got out. But tonight… He swallowed hard against a wave of nausea. He'd been fe...

He wondered how Paige had held out for three days by herself. In the years they’d been estranged, the memory of his little sister had been replaced by the image of the addict, the fuck-up, and now, the prostitute. It was easy to forget the little girl who would quietly stroke his hair when the te...
As he pulled it open, a voice screamed from within. “Stay back! I got your buddy and the owner in here! Stay back or I’ll kill ‘em both!” Gerry scuttled back down the steps. “We got a hostage situation here, Fred.” “He’s got the kid!” Fred said. “God damn! Call the hostage team. Now!” As Gerry ra...
