THE GOODBYE MAN

Despite the usual hard-nosed competition from his rival, Dalton Crowe, Shaw has no trouble locating suspected neo-Nazis Adam Harper and Erick Young, sought for burning a cross on the grounds of a church, and turning them over to the police. That’s when everything goes sideways, for the law in this case is so lawless that Adam would rather kill himself than be arrested, and Erick narrowly escapes with his life. Troubled enough to look into the fugitives’ histories, Shaw is led to the Osiris Foundation, a for-profit enclave in the mountains of Washington, which had clearly changed Adam’s life. Turning the hefty reward the Western Washington Ecumenical Council had offered for their apprehension over to Erick’s parents, Shaw goes underground as Carter Skye, enrolling in the Process™ developed by Osiris founder and director Master Eli, ne David Ellis. He quickly finds himself mired in an isolated cult in which paramilitary bodyguards support a leader who has every flaw you’d expect from his role. The thrills that follow are authentic, but the attempt to weave this plot together with Shaw’s continuing quest for the truth about his survivalist father’s last months is surprisingly awkward, and the use of four separate scenes in which characters you thought were dead spring back to life suggests that the boundlessly inventive Deaver may be running low on new tricks.

Thanks for reading.
