Book Description

April 2001 Clark Hager Novels
The Midwest Book Review called Jeff Pate “an author of substance, imagination, and talent.”

CLARK HAGER IS BACK...

From the bestselling author of Winner Take All comes a spine-chilling new thriller that puts SBI Special Agent Clark Hager in the middle of a baffling murder case.

It’s been six months since the brilliant profiler matched wits and battled with a ruthless killer called “The Strangler.” Hager’s partner Lloyd Sheridan has recovered from his injuries and is ready to return to work. Recently engaged to the woman of his dreams Vanessa Roman, Hager thinks life is beginning to get back to normal. But would it last...

It all begins with a seemingly innocuous phone call from an old friend, concerned that his wife is missing. The woman is found murdered and sensing a loyalty to his friend, Hager takes it upon himself to find her killer. Hager and Lloyd team up with Brick McLendon, a Raleigh PD detective with a chip on his shoulder and an ax to grind.

Tasked with finding a killer and protecting his friend, Hager realizes that he can be too close to a case...too close to know that sometimes guilt lies in the Eye of the Beholder.

Eye of the Beholder exposes Hager’s inner turmoil—at work and home, and deals with many issues, from prejudice to the agent’s own longevity, forcing him to change the way he views the world in which he lives.

With a dazzling pace and scintillating plot twists, Eye of the Beholder is page-turning suspense, destined to continue Jeff Pate’s bestselling tradition and thrill his fans across the country.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nail-biting thriller, May 15, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Eye of the Beholder: A Clark Hager Novel (Clark Hager Novels) (Hardcover)
One thing I can say about Jeff Pate is that he knows how to begin a thriller novel. With deft precision, he seems to lure you in from the very beginning. His first chapter takes you right in the middle of a woman's frantic attempt to escape the clutches of a killer and the action doesn't let up until the book ends after a furious car chase. "Eye of the Beholder" isn't only about Special Agent Clark Hager trying to unearth the killer of a friend's wife. It's much more than that. Pate gives the reader insight on how the cops do their jobs and how different people's perceptions can lead them into different directions. Thus, the reason for the title "Eye of the Beholder." It's a clever treatise that touches the very volatile subject of racial profiling and how bias (and not only racial bias) can affect an investigation. Not only that, but if you have read Pate's first book "Winner Take All" you can keep up with his great cast of characters. This was an excellent thriller, leaving me with the notion that Jeff Pate and Clark Hager are here to stay.

5.0 out of 5 stars Could not put it down, honest., August 20, 2003

This review is from: Eye of the Beholder: A Clark Hager Novel (Clark Hager Novels) (Hardcover)
I have managed not to read very many complete books in my lifetime thanks to Cliff's Notes. (Not proud of that fact.) Having said that, any book that captivates me long enough to read it cover to cover has to be good.

I honestly could not put it down. I read it from cover to cover in 10hrs with only a few breaks. I have only done that with one other book, John Grisham's The Pelican Brief.

Good job Detective Pate!

This review is from: Eye of the Beholder: A Clark Hager Novel (Clark Hager Novels) (Hardcover)
Thanks Jeff, for another fast-paced, Clark Hager thriller! An entertaining fast read. Clark Hager reveals himself as much more than a police detective to his readers in this book. He gives us insight into what makes him tick as a father, a lover, a friend and dedicated investigator. Jeff Pate continues to mature as a novelist. I understand there's another Hager case brewing. I look forward to the release of BOILING POINT
