Review
'A strong narrative, rife with sex and violence'
(Publishers' Weekly )'A real thriller that I just had to finish... Freeman's characters are strongly drawn...I would certainly recommend this book'
(CrimeSquad (website) )'Freeman consistently hits his thriller marks, keeping the action coming and the tension high... The height of guilty pleasures'
(Kirkus Reviews )'A cracking second novel'
(Manchester Evening News )'Freeman captures the sleazy atmosphere of the city...driving its narrative briskly to a dramatic conclusion'
(Sunday Telegraph )'Freeman ably juggles multiple plot strands while never losing sight of the human dimension... Confirmation of a major talent'
(Guardian ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.Product Description
Brian Freeman's second novel is a gripping, hard-hitting thriller set in one of the most fascinating, sexy and intriguing cities in the world, Las Vegas, and puts his on-going detective character Jonathan Stride on the trail of a cunning and relentless killer.
Elonda's seen most things working the streets. But it's a first when her client is shot dead in the act. Detective Jonathan Stride quickly establishes that the victim is M.J. Lane, son of a reclusive millionaire film producer. Any number of people might have wanted to kill M.J. Another death is troubling the Vegas force - of a little boy, killed in a hit-and-run incident involving a stolen car. Then the body of a woman is found in a remote farmhouse. Could the murders be linked? It seems the killer wants to send a message about the brutal slaying decades earlier of a night club dancer. That case was wrapped up quickly. Too quickly? Someone certainly thinks so - and he's set on murderous revenge for the sins of the past.

Format:Paperback
This is fantastic crime writing. I'm a fan of Karin Slaughter and Brian Freeman is right up there with Slaughter. I thoroughly enjoyed Freeman's first novel, Immoral and Stripped is even better. Can't wait for his next novel. buy it!

Format:Hardcover
I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this novel. But, when there is a transvestite cop, a lesbian lover on the same force and a new hero on the block, this makes for a refreshing change! Detective Jonathan Stride, fresh from being a lieutenant in Minnesota moves to being a lowly detective in Las Vegas just to be with his lover and finds himself trying to solve a spate of murders with no apparent connection. It will not spoil the story to reveal that there is a connection to a murder which happened 40 years ago. Add in the mafia, the old Rat Pack connections and Brian Freeman brings the story to an excellent conclusion with a great twist in the tale. I think Detective Stride will be around for a while yet.

To sum up in one word:Wow!
I'm an avid reader of thrillers and am always on the lookout for a new author to add to my favourites and Brian Freeman certainly shoots to the top of my list, displacing Lee Childs.
This book had it all: believable characters, excellent storyline, exciting setting and a bit of sex & violence thrown in for good measure rounded off by cunning twist in the tale at the end.
A real page turner, which left me bleary-eyed as I couldn't lay it down. I've already ordered his first book Immoral and look forward to future publications.

Another enjoyable book from Freeman
I am glad that I read Immoral first because Stripped is, in effect, a loose form of sequel. It has quite a number of references to the former's storyline that would otherwise make... Read more
