Mystery/Thriller Reading Friends discussion

I recently started promoting Michael Sears' upcoming thriller Long Way Down, due out from Putnam on February 5. Review copies are available! Here's a description.

From the author of the acclaimed, award-winning debut novel Black Fridays, comes a story of murder, greed, and corruption—and the lengths to which one man will go for his family.

He approached me in the street—bone-thin, gray-bearded, holding out a small envelope. “The man said you’d give me five bucks for it.” Inside was a one-word message: RUN.

Two years in a federal prison has changed Jason Stafford, is still changing him, but one thing it has taught him as a financial investigator is how to detect a lie. He doesn’t think Philip Haley is lying. An engineer on the verge of a biofuel breakthrough, Haley has been indicted for insider trading on his own company, and Stafford believes him when he says he’s been set up. Haley does indeed have enemies. He is not a nice man. Doesn’t make him a criminal.

It does make him dangerous to be around, though. The deeper Stafford investigates, the more secrets he starts to uncover, secrets people would kill for. And that’s exactly what happens. Soon, it is Stafford himself who is under attack and, worse, his family—his fiancée, his young son—and he is a fugitive, desperately trying to stay one step ahead of both the killers and the law.

Ooh, this sounds good, Wiley! Don't know this author. I don't do reviews, but will look for it in my library.

Looks good, thanks Wiley

This one releases in February, so it may be Feb/March before it starts showing up in the libraries. The earlier books on the series, which starts with BLACK FRIDAYS, should be available.

This sounds very good. Haven't read Black Fridays yet, so will start there! Thank you.

I thought Black Fridays was very good and will look forward to reading Long Way Down.

I read this one about a year after it came out. Sorry I missed the promotion--the book was good.
