From Publishers Weekly
Veteran journalist King, the Edgar-winning author of the Max Freeman novels (The Blue Edge of Midnight, etc.), sets this edgy, brooding stand-alone in a milieu he knows well, the world of the professional crime reporter. Nick Mullins, who covers the crime beat for the South Florida Daily News, is still shattered two years later by the deaths of his wife and one of his twin daughters in an auto accident with a drunk driver. Obsessed with revenge, Mullins spends his off hours stalking the driver, who's just been released from prison after serving only 18 months. Mullins's reputation for honesty and integrity endears him to a devoted cadre of readers, including Michael Redman, an ex-cop and former military sniper who begins assassinating criminals Mullins has profiled. As the body count rises, it becomes clear that Redman is indeed working from a list, and that the final name will fulfill a personal debt that he feels he owes Mullins. While the plot unfolds predictably, King's crisp writing and insights into grief and loss give this novel a depth and poignancy unusual for a thriller. (May)

The Edgar-winning author of the Max Freeman novels delivers a stand-alone about crime reporter Nick Mullins, whose wife and daughters were killed by a drunk driver. When the driver is released from prison after only 18 months, Mullins becomes bent on revenge. At the same time, another killer is killed by a sniper, and it becomes clear the sharpshooter has a personal relationship with Mullins. Mel Foster sometimes sounds distracted in his delivery of this thriller. His flat baritone is pleasant enough, but in some passages he sounds young and awkward. Overall, however, his performance isn't disconcerting enough to forgo this realistic portrayal of the world of journalism.
