Mark Novak was introduced in Michael Koryta's previous book, Last Words, as a man dealing with the murder of his wife. In this book, he is still pursuing his wife's supposed murderer who has just been released from prison for another crime. There is another plotline of an Electrical Engineer who comes home to find his wife has been kidnapped. The book slowly works out how these events are connected. I have read almost all of this author's works and I find his writing and prose improves with each one. I really enjoyed this story and his choice of providing narrative from the "villain's" point of view which normally doesn't work for me, in this instance adds to the story. I did feel a disconnect from the character of Mark which took away from the plot, but overall this is another solid mystery from the author. I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
