Book Description

November 8, 2011

Like the secret love child of Dirty Harry and Martha Stewart, Brick Ransom is a rookie cop with a taste for fine dining and zero patience for slovenly deadbeats and criminal scum.

In the middle of a rare Northwest blizzard, Brick is forced to cut his dinner short in order to protect three key witnesses – a bookkeeper, a stripper, and a deadly assassin – all of whom are set to testify against Seattle crime boss Frank Mason the next morning. When a gunman ambushes the first witness en route to his downtown hotel, and Brick’s partner is killed in the crossfire, it’s quickly apparent that moles within the police force are leaking the whereabouts of each witness back to Mason in a last-ditch effort to keep the criminal kingpin from ever standing trial.

As the storm worsens, and the city freezes to a standstill, it’s up to Brick Ransom to protect the last two witnesses, outwit Frank Mason’s team of killers and crooked cops, and do his best to ignore his growling stomach, all while struggling to contain his growing fascination with Witness #2.

With its signature blend of dark humor and page-turning action, Seattle On Ice is Mike Attebery’s most exciting book yet!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous, fun thriller!, November 28, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Seattle On Ice (Paperback)
I've read Attebery's 2 other books (Billionaires, Bullets, Exploding Monkeys; On/Off - A Jekyll and Hyde Story), and this one is definitely his best. I definitely appreciated the dark comedy that was sprinkled throughout the novel and believe it'll end up being his signature style (I hope so, anyway!). I also liked the contradictory elements of the main character's personality--he's definitely not your standard hard-boiled police officer, but is instead an unapologetic admirer of the finer things in life. There are standard-issue characters here (a retired stripper, a hitman, a crooked bookkeeper), yet they all had unexpected personality quirks that kept them from seeming two-dimensional.

There are plenty of veritable local references to please Seattleites, but one they aren't so obscure or frequent as to alienate readers from other locales, and even folks who live in places where it rarely if ever snows (like...Seattle, for instance) will appreciate the tension that occurs when an unprepared city deals with an onslaught of harsh weather. At its core, this is a crime thriller to please any reader who enjoys the genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Pulpy Page-Turner, December 9, 2011
By 
Consumer "Consumer" (Tulsa, OK United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Seattle On Ice is a great little popcorn action flick in book form. This is a fine way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon, curled up on the couch with a cup of coffee and officer Brick Ransom. There are plenty of bullets, explosions, double-crosses, and enough grit to shake a stick at. If you like classic action and modern pulp, this is probably right up your alley.

This being my first Attebery book, I'm quite pleased with his writing style. I'll be picking up his previous books soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Thrilling Noirish Homage to Seattle, November 30, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Seattle On Ice (Paperback)
Seattle On Ice is a thrilling, frantic joyride through the dark, cold streets of Seattle over the course of one crazy, violent, winter night as Detective Brick Ransom fights insurmountable odds to save the lives of three key witnesses in an imminent high profile criminal trial. Ransom is a man of refined tastes, but is by no means effete. He'd just as soon be savoring authentic osso bucco and cabernet sauvignon as chasing down bad guys and saving sexy dames in distress.

The action unfolds in the middle of a rare Seattle blizzard. Detective Ransom soon finds out that he can't trust anyone or anything - even his own instincts prove unreliable. He's tenacious and formidable, however, and he overcomes all obstacles with panache and style.

If you like your mysteries tinged with noir and humor, you'll love this book. As a former Seattleite, it was a delight to come across so many iconic Seattle landmarks, locations, and traditions in its pages. If you're familiar with Seattle, Attebery's technique is transformative. I'm very much looking forward to Ransom's next adventure.
