This is a slow burning story with an old rival of our main characters: Detective Inspector Rowan Jackman and DS Marie Evans. This will be a war between the culprit and the police and in the end there will be only one winner… ready for The Patient Man?
This story is much deeper than I thought in the beginning, the police are searching for a snipper that is killing around town and while they are searching for this killer, Alistair Ashcroft will resurface again. If you haven’t read any of the previous books of the series, Jackman & Evans, you have to know that they have some history together, he is a psychopath and wants revenge.
This is the first case I’ve read of the Jackman & Evans series, but don’t worry you’ll follow the story perfectly, even if it’s a continuation of previous stories, the case is well explained and you understand the characters and their emotions. Because the group of detectives to investigate the case are not only co-workers, they are friends, a team, and when one of them is injured, all the others suffer.
The story will be told between the perspective of the detectives and the culprit vision, the police know who is he, but doesn’t know how to find him or his plans, they only know that he will try to do as much damage as possible.
It was an interesting cat and mouse story, a chess game between the police and Ashcroft, in which the reader never know who will win!
