This one has my interest. Looking forward to it.
This story line sounds so inventive and promising. Can't wait for the giveaway to begin!
The real world is full of synchronicity, since it's basically all one "thing." Or all one action. So, for fiction to remind us of that fact is a welcome affirmation of how everything is kind of a miracle, never something to take for granted as being some ol' mundane life. Nope. Not when books like this are here for us to read.

Although he reads only the conscious thoughts of the people he interviews, it usually gives him enough of an edge to overcome his inexperience as a PI.
The case of his life lands in his lap when a comatose woman materializes during a televised baseball game.
Beckman is at her bedside when she wakes up. From the moment she opens her eyes, she has him under her spell. He vows to figure out where—or when—she came from, even if it kills him.

Wow, the Last Gasp by Robert Parker left me wanting more. This novel has great characters, good pacing and a super plot. I hope to see
more by this author!
The prologue to Last Gasp by Robert F Barker is an interplay between routine surveillance and the stress of operations not going to plan. The prologue also sets-off the tone of the novel and introduces Barker as a skilled writer. The characters remain nameless. The reader is an observer just as the police squad is voyeurs to a liaison between a client and a dominatrix. When things go un-expected, pressure mounts. The book launches finding DCI Carver, the somewhat preoccupied detective, at the gates of a mansion in what promises to be a most intriguing read.

This one has my interest. Looking forward to it.
This story line sounds so inventive and promising. Can't wait for the giveaway to begin!
The real world is full of synchronicity, since it's basically all one "thing." Or all one action. So, for fiction to remind us of that fact is a welcome affirmation of how everything is kind of a miracle, never something to take for granted as being some ol' mundane life. Nope. Not when books like this are here for us to read.

I'm glad this is just a preview because the whole book might just cause a psychotic break. I mean that as a compliment, I think...
Love the psychological angle! Can't wait to read.
