When private investigator Jake Abraham gets a phone call from disgraced ex-Chicago cop Gregory Patterson it starts a spiral of events that could prove fatal. Patterson wants Jake to find his missing daughter Susan, who didn’t show up for his birthday party. Jake starts a search for the missing girl, only to have her turn up dead with a ‘Z’ carved into her foot. This leads to a connection with several other similar murders. The cops are looking for a serial killer, but there’s also a mob connection. Jake has more leads than he knows what to do with, and he keeps crossing the wrong people, which could cause him to be added to the growing list of victims. The Shoulders of Giants by Jim Cliff is a mystery in the mold of Elmore Leonard and Mickey Spillane; gritty dialogue, realistic settings, and non-stop action that will keep you on the edge of your chair as Jake flits from one hair-raising encounter to another. This is definitely a five-star keeper for mystery fans. Questa recensione è stata scritta per gli Omaggi dei Membri di LibraryThing . I'd like to give 4 and a half stars!a very nicely done thriller :), I really enjoyed reading it. Jake Abraham reminds me a bit of Mike Hammer - he could have been similar to Jake when he started his PI career. The book has wit, suspense and is very well written - it was hard to put down and I was very sleepy today at the office *g* I'm very much looking forward to Jake's next case! I really enjoyed the way this book was written. The main characters were engaging and there was a good level of humour between them and also in Jake’s private thoughts. I liked the way that Scott explained various forensic terms and police procedures to Jake, and therefore the reader, which helped me to understand and follow the direction of the police investigation. The story kept me entertained and it didn’t follow a predictable course, but kept me guessing until the end. One of the better books I have read for a while and I look forward to reading the next book in the series. 4.5/5 nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was written well. I still noticed a few grammatical errors as I made my way through it. I enjoyed how there was two stories lines that were running at the same time. The characters were well thought out and it wasn't predictable. Can't wait to read the books that follow Jake Abraham. ( )
