A new breed of killer has hit Dallas. The victims? They bleed blue. And the brotherhood is calling in the cavalry: one Booker T. Adams, PI.Excommunicated from the Dallas Police Department for refusing to overlook conduct unbefitting an officer, Booker has every reason to slam the door shut when the chief pleads for his assistance. But Booker can't turn his back on the community he's always felt drawn to protect, even if it means getting in bed with someone who tried to ruin his life.As pandemonium floods the city from the inside out, Booker chases an invisible plague. He can't stop what he can't see. And then the unthinkable happens. Another killing...and this one guts him.Driven by an eternal camaraderie he'd once shared with his long-time partner, Booker shifts into overdrive to end this sinister game, some sort of sick vigilante justice.A vengeful fury of his own takes hold. And the damned can hear him coming. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The story in a few words:
Booker T. Adams, PI, is asked by the chief of Dallas Police Department for assistance in flushing out a new breed of killer that has hit Dallas: the victims are one of their own. Booker shifts into overdrive to end this sinister game.
My thoughts in a few words:
Even with all his good intentions, Booker is always dragged into seedy situations and following him is a real roller-coaster ride. Once again, Mr. Mefford combines a terrific story line with action out of movie scenes. The action is fast-paced and seems to never end. In “Dead Heat” we meet different people: Bolt. A lovable teenager, Henry, works for the DA’s office and of course Alisa, Booker’s crime-fighting partner. We also have a police chief whose motives are questionable, a dangerous mobster and an old friend not so friendly at all. You would think that “Dead Heat” had all the elements needed to make a gripping read. Some would say yes...Then why did I have trouble keeping my mind on this story and staying focused: simply too many uninteresting side bars that distracted me: such as parties and games even superfluous events that added little to the story. Good read, but not the author’s best work.
I read a lot of books from this author and I generally think there are great although the Booker series is not my favourite I still think all 6 books are well worth reading. ( )
