A Thin line
A Thin line David Boiani
What if a man lost his moral compass between right and wrong, good and evil, mental stability and insanity?
John Corbin has been investigating, catching, and convicting murderers, rapists, and pedophiles for twenty years as a Seattle detective. But lately, someone has been beating him to the punch and eliminating these vile criminals before he can apprehend them. John is learning that there is a thin line between innocent or guilty, good or evil, alive or dead.
By definition, a thin line is a very narrow division between two alternatives. Some being exact opposites, while others are separated by the narrowest of threads.

Follow Cal from the drug infested streets through the worlds of drug gangs and the super-rich to the stunning conclusion.
From the book's opening chapter, you know this is a hard-boiled crime novel. Cal, known on the streets as Rocky, wakes up in a back alley. The description is vivid and confronting. He tries to break Roy from his drug-induced stupor as they have to hit the streets. Cal know that if anyone from his past recognizes him, he would meet a slow and painful death. One question hounds Cal, why did Tommy die of bad drugs when he was an alcoholic?
Excellent book with an interesting character and an interesting character. I enjoyed this refreshing approach to the genre.
I love a good detective story, especially when it involves a conspiracy. And when a case hangs on just one word, it has to be a page-turner.
This looks awesome. I love broken heroes. So much potential for awesome characterization.
This one has all the right stuff for a great story. Can't wait.

Nothing like a thriller when the plan falls apart and the heroes have to wing it! Makes it all the harder for the reader to guess what is going to happen...
Fast and enjoyable.
beautiful cover :)
I felt like I was on Mars, the real Mars, and felt the desperation that isolated settlers will experience. Great read
Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.

I loved this book. Lots of tension, lots of mystery, great characters and humour throughout.
Compelling beginning to this conspiracy-theory plot focusing on the Middle East, Russia and the questionable role of various operators within the US government. Interesting likeable characters. Reads very authoritatively on all things military and security service related.
Great cover and blurb - compelling story idea. I'm interested!
