Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
British author Norman makes up for a pedestrian start with a mind-blowing ending in this sequel to 1999's Mind Games that brings back Sam Becket, an African-American homicide detective; Becket's wife, child psychologist Grace Lucca; and their adopted daughter, Cathy. After someone viciously bludgeons janitor Rudolph Muller to death on a Miami beach, a crime accompanied by some bestial howls of rage that sounded less than human, Becket takes on the case. Soon other victims surface, both in and out of Becket's jurisdiction, but the main suspect proves to be disturbingly close to home: ambitious rookie cop Teresa Suarez, the attractive but obsessed girlfriend of Becket's younger brother, Saul. Despite merely adequate prose, Norman pulls off the rare feat of unveiling the killer mid-book, maintaining tension and suspense by revealing an unexpected but logical plot twist. Her fearless willingness to kill off sympathetic characters and explore the dark side of the human psyche should earn her some new fans. (Jan.)

fabulous,
This review is from: Last Run (Sam Becket Mystery) (Hardcover)
I have read many books by Hilary Norman and Last Run is the best yet.Hilary Norman artfully writes this gripping story and you will not be dissapointed in this plot, the characters and the ending!! I hope to read many more books by this author as she has become one of my favorites. She has a very clever way of spinning a plot around a location that makes you feel you have been there yourself. Enjoy this great book !

This review is from: Last Run (Sam Becket Mystery) (Hardcover)
Had to keep myself from finishing this in one sitting. Wonderful plot twists as is the case in all of Norman's books. It's only failing comes in that it is the second of a series, so that the survival of one or two of it's characters is now known from the start. Better not to read the reviews on the back before beginning!
