Private investigator Jack Wilde lives in an edgy 1952 world where nothing is black and white, cigarettes dangle from ruby-red lips, and even the simplest case has more dangerous twists than whiskey-soaked jazz. In this riveting pulp noir thriller from acclaimed author R.J. Jagger, Wilde finds himself spiraling into a string of murders with the next one likely to come on Friday.
This is the 1st Bryson Wilde book written by R.J. Jagger. It was initially published in 2011 under a different name and was a top selling noir thriller back in its day.. It has now been updated, re-edited and refreshed with a new name and cover, and is being reintroduced to the market in digital, mass-market paperback, and hardcover formats after a long hiatus away. We hope you enjoy it.
The Nick Teffinger thrillers are all self-contained within their own four corners and can be read in any order.
For over a decade, R.J. Jagger's thrillers have been widely acclaimed by the most established and reputable book review organizations in the publishing industry, including Library JournaL, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist and Foreword Reviews:
"A terrifying, gripping cross between James Patterson and John Grisham. Jagger has created a truly killer thriller." J.A. Konrath
"As engaging as the debut [Witness Chase], this exciting blend of police procedural and legal thriller recalls the early works of Scott Turow and Lisa Scottoline." Library Journal
"The well-crafted storyline makes this a worthwhile read. This novel has a riveting plot." Kirkus Reviews
"Verdict: The pacing is relentless in this debut, a hard-boiled novel with a shocking ending. The supershort chapters will please those who enjoy a James Patterson--style page-turner" Library Journal
A "clever and engrossing mystery tale involving gorgeous women, lustful men and scintillating suspense." Foreword Magazine
"Part of what makes this thriller thrilling is that you sense there to be connections among all the various subplots; the anticipation of their coming together keeps the pages turning." Booklist
"This is one of the best thrillers I've read yet." New Mystery Reader
"A throwback to the era of Mike Hammer and Shell Scott, [Nick] Teffinger is old school all the way--and that means good retro fun." Booklist
This book "is creative and captivating. It features bold characters, witty dialogue, exotic locations, and non-stop action. The pacing is spot-on, a solid combination of intrigue, suspense, and eroticism. A first-rate thriller, this book is damnably hard to put down. It's a tremendous read." Foreword Reviews
