WOW Didn't quite know what to expect but man what a good book.Rhodes is an guy who kinda sorta spent 15 months as a drunk after his wife committed suicide. His wife didn't leave a note and Jack has no idea why she killed herself. They were very happy together.After 15 months in that bottle he straightens out and becomes an author. Its not easy but he is finally successfull at it.Now he's a bestselling author with a very popular series of books. The first is Killer. Its about a serial killer who's never really identified in the books. There's a female FBI agent who's hot on his trail through the series. Of course all the books are about a serial killer and the FBI agent who's trying her best to catch him.Rhodes has bought a home in the mountain of Vt. He has a beautiful cabin where he does his writing. He hasn't had a drink in forever and he wants to keep it that way.One morning the local Sheriffs deputy, a lovely lady, comes to visit him. She says LAPD would like to speak with him about something going on in LA.Jack can't figure out what the heck the LAPD wants with him but he calls and learns that there has been a body found in a canyon. The body and location of same are the exact same as his first victim in Killer.Jack heads for LA and when he gets there he gets the distinct impression that the cops aren't loooking at him as an author of bestselling books but as someone of interest in the death of the woman. Seems the dead girls name is even similar to the name of the dead girl in the book. The real kicker is that she has no head or hands. Just like the victim in the book.Jack is driven to go to the site. While there he uncovers evidence in a tree. He foolishly touches it, leaving his prints, but it freaks him out so much he puts it back where he found it. He also gets the distinct impression that he's been there before though he can't figure out when. Of course his time as a drunk is a complete blank. He can't remember any of it. He can't remeber anything about his days as a drunk.Right about now Rhodes is freaking out. He leaves LA and heads home. Speaks to his attorney and is introuduced to Nikki, another attorney.The LAPD finds the evidence, his prints and the race is on. He's way more than a person of interest now.Jack takes off because he knows if the police catch him he will never be able to prove his innocence. Jacks no dummy. He has loads of friends in police departments the US marshals office and the FBI. He aquired many these friends while researching his books. He learned all they could teach him and boy did they do a great job.The books turns into a chase across America with the law hunting for Jack and Jack doing his best to stay out of their reach while trying to figure out what the heck is going on. He does get snippets of memory but can't figure out if he's dreaming or if those memories are real.Of course the police start finding bodies in the exact same spots as Jack has them in his books. More damning evidence against Jack.We also have a serial killer on the loose. A very smart and capable serial killer. A killer we find has known Jack and even spoken to him. A real trail full of twists and turns.This was one heck of a good book. I couldn't put it down and will be getting the next one on the Jack Rhodes train.Five stars all the way.
