A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Brian Freeman's second novel is a gripping, hard-hitting thriller set in one of the most fascinating, sexy and intriguing cities in the world, Las Vegas, and puts his on-going detective character Jonathan Stride on the trail of a cunning and relentless killer.

Elonda's seen most things working the streets. But it's a first when her client is shot dead in the act. Detective Jonathan Stride quickly establishes that the victim is M.J. Lane, son of a reclusive millionaire film producer. Any number of people might have wanted to kill M.J. Another death is troubling the Vegas force - of a little boy, killed in a hit-and-run incident involving a stolen car. Then the body of a woman is found in a remote farmhouse. Could the murders be linked? It seems the killer wants to send a message about the brutal slaying decades earlier of a night club dancer. That case was wrapped up quickly. Too quickly? Someone certainly thinks so - and he's set on murderous revenge for the sins of the past.

Revue de presse :

'Freeman consistently hits his thriller marks, keeping the action coming and the tension high... The height of guilty pleasures' (Kirkus Reviews)

'A strong narrative, rife with sex and violence' (Publishers Weekly)

'An intelligently structured mystery, rich in evocation and authentic characterisation qualifies as good literature... Superbly engineered and supported by fast and revealing dialogue, the narrative is distinguished by powerful characterisation that breathes life into every actor; real people with real psychological baggage. Raunchy, erotic, captivating - the mystery compounds with every chapter end...If Stripped is any indication, we can look forward to a whole crop of brilliant serial crime novels from this author featuring a very human Jonathan Stride.' (The Courier Mail (Australia))
