More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
He's playing a deadly game. And he's closer than you think. The first compelling Jack Paris thriller from the author of the Sunday Times bestselling Byrne and Balzano series. Previously published as Deviant Way.
Product Description
Andrea Heller has been married for seven years, but still likes to pretend she's single. She enjoys sitting on her own in bars, and watching what happens. But there's another couple watching too. They call themselves Saila and Pharaoh, but only after sundown. And it is after sundown that some terrible things are happening in the singles clubs in Cleveland.
In six months, three women in their twenties have been brutally murdered. And each step that Homicide Detective Jack Paris takes to find their killer draws him closer to the heart of his own forbidden impulses.
As the stakes become increasingly personal, Jack knows only one thing for certain. To enter the minds of Saila and Pharaoh is to enter a world from which no one ever fully returns...

Having read all Richard Montanari's books, it is disappointing that he is still only showing potential. As other reviewers have pointed out, his heroes can appear a little short of commonsense when trying to solve a crime, not least Jack Paris. He must tighten up the storyline, possibly at the exclusion of too many women in his life. For someone that appears to be 'Joe Average' he attracts the women like a magnet!
Once again we have a novelist writing about a person(s) who are totally ruthless until the end when they suddenly hit the 'reasonable' button. The stand-off at the end just did not gel with the serial killer of the rest of the book. Montanari is not the only writer guilty of setting a standard for killers only to have them capitulate in the most embarrassing circumstances at the end.

I've been a fan of Richard Montanari's writing for a short time now, (having read the who Byrne and Balazano series, and also The Devils Way and most recently The Violet Hour) I became instantly hooked onto him due to his unique and inventive mystery stricken book plots.
I felt intrigued to see where it all began for him.
With Detective Jack Paris.
Although, I was greatly disappointed in the the packaging, I was not let down by the quality of story!
Overall great story.

A serial killer is on the loose, and an unusual combination at that. The target, beautiful young business women who all have something in common and all end up brutally murdered with a thin strip of skin removed along with other mutilation. Jack Paris is on the case and half way through gets an unlikely lead that sees the case closed, or is there more to it?
I usually really enjoy Richard Montanari but I was really disappointed with this one. The characters I couldn't seem to connect with or have any feelings for at all other than puzzlement or annoyance. There was a lot of contradictions (I felt), for example Jack seems clueless all along then at the end a small clue tips him off that leads to the finale (sorry to be vague but I hate spoiler reviews). The killer seems to be motivated and does the killings and rituals for a reason but your left wondering and really with a lot more questions than answers at the end and that really annoys me. Even if I had liked the book this would have pulled it's rating down anyway but I wasn't moved or enthralled with this at all.
There is a lot of sex and swearing in the book but if your a Montanari fan this won't be new for you, if your looking to start with this author try one of the other books first as this doesn't show any of his talent or have a patch on any of his other books I have read and enjoyed, 2/5 this time.
