Nash Black "Troubadour" (Jamestown, KY) - See all my reviews
  

DEAD ON by Robert W. Walker is a horror/thriller supreme when Marcus Rydell, PI & Dr. Kat Mallory plot revenge on the psychotic killer, Iden Cantu who has destroyed their lives.

Rydell suffers from blackout spells that can not be explained, when the chips were down he went down while his partner, Stan Miersky and two other patrolmen are executed. Cantu instead of killing the helpless Rydell lets him live with the aftermath of his cop killing spree.

One of the dead officers was the young husband of Dr. Katrina "Kat" Mallory. Consumed with hatred for the vicious killer, Kat holds a gun point date with Rydell to illicit his aid in trapping Cantu so she can make his die a dreadful death.

The pace of this well crafted novel never slows and you will be reading to the end.
The fine production will be followed by a sequel DEAD END.

Just finished reading Dead On, July 6, 2009

(Linda) I just had to stay up late last night and finish it. You know I only downloaded
it because it was free in pdf format and I had never tried the conversion and
upload to K2 process so I thought this would be a good one to try it with.
Before I had a chance to figure out where to send it off to have it converted I
thought I would just read a page or two. I made the mistake of downloading it
to my work computer because that is where I was when I thought of doing it and
found that every few minutes I pulled the file back up to just read a few more
pages. Talk about sucking you in with the first chapter! Well obviously this
wasn't going to work since my employer really doesn't pay me to sit there and
read books. So I dug up the instructions for sending it for conversion so that
I got it back in my email and could upload it to the K2. That worked fine after
I called Customer Support and they told me about the choices you are given at
the top left of the Home page to display All Items. So now I could read the
rest of the book on my Kindle and just goof off at home instead of getting
fired. I have to say that this book sure keeps your interest from chapter to
chapter. I would find myself reading a particularly "exciting" chapter and just
having to put it down because I just couldn't bear any more. Within less than 5
minutes I just had to pick it up again because I had to see what happened next.
I won't describe any more of my reaction because I don't want to spoil it for
anyone else but if you love a good thriller, I would certainly recommend this
book. Now I am trying to figure out how to get it to my husband's iPod Touch
because he has chosen to use the Kindle software on it instead of buying a
Kindle and he will love this book. Is there any way to do that? In the
meantime, I am off to the Amazon store to buy more of Rob's books.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This author has become a favorite of mine. This book is exciting, provocative, and quite entertaining. The author uses many incomplete sentences, but in this case--IT WORKS! Dead On is really "Dead On."

Dead On suspense with Moonlighting romance, June 22, 2009

Reviewed by Stephanie Boyd

Four years ago former Atlanta police officer Marcus Rydell was left alive and physically unharmed while his partner and two other cops were brutally slain. Since then Marcus has lost everything: his reputation, his family, and his desire to find justice. He is surviving as a PI but he no longer feels life is worth living. Until Kat Holley pulls him out of his funk by challenging him to help her destroy the former-Marine survivalist, Iden Cantu, who has evaded police since he killed her husband and the other two cops and left Marcus alive.

But nothing could prepare Marcus and Kat for the ultimate evil mad man who has decided to kill the families of the men he massacred on that day four years ago. Cantu is focused on causing Marcus the ultimate pain of making him suffer because he is helpless as everyone else is brutally murdered before Cantu finally comes for Marcus. Do Marcus and Kat stand a chance in outwitting Cantu to stay alive?

Dead On is and outstanding thriller, like all the other books I have read by Robert W. Walker. The story is fast paced and filled with suspense and terror as normal people try to find away to survive a mad man who has nothing to lose.

I loved Marcus and Kat; they are both determined, intelligent, and yet flawed in a way that makes them that much more appealing. As they get to know each other, they realize that they have misjudged one another and a romance begins to develop-right before the mad man finds them! The budding romance gives the couple a reason to not only defeat Cantu but also reason to survive. But can they win and live with the actions they may be forced to take to stay alive?

If you have never read a book by this author, do yourself a favor, read this book and get swept away in this story of terrifying suspense, romance, a quest for justice and to stop the ultimate evil mad man, and an ultimate test of moral convictions!

Armchair Interviews says: A 5-star read from this very prolific writer known for his and horror and suspense stories.

From our armchair to yours...

A synopsis of this book has been written several times, so just let me say that it was suspenseful, entertaining, and hard to put down. The characters were fun and interesting and I'd like to see them again. I'm hoping for a sequel!
