Deadlock by James Byrne, James Byrne
fast-paced
4.0
This is the second book in the Dez Limerick series. I have not read the 1st book in the series but did not feel like I missed out while reading this one. I will, however, probably go back and read the first one. Dez is such an interesting character.
Dez is a "Gatekeeper". Gatekeepers can open any door, keep the door open as long as necessary, and ensures no one enters or exits without his express permission. Dez receives a call from Raziah, a friend, that her sister, Laleh, was attacked and is in the hospital. When Dez arrives, he discovers three shady dudes there to finish the job and stops them. Laleh is digging into a story about a friend of hers who had been doing an audit for a company when he was murdered. After the three men at the hospital are discovered as known criminals, several Federal agencies get involved and everyone is told to "stand down", which leaves Dez there to protect the sisters.
This was a fun read. It was fast-paced with enough action and twists to keep one engaged. I truly wanted to know what would happen next. Definitely a must-read!
My sincere thanks to Minotaur Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of Deadlock!
