Open "Last Redemption" and catapult into a thrilling whodunnit. We quickly bond with the main character, Rick Cahill, a private investigator whose rough past has left him beaten up and facing a shortened future plagued by a CTE brain damage prognosis. He is now engaged and expecting his first child and swears he is not taking on the dangerous jobs any longer... but the suspicious disappearance of his best friend's son sucks him back into that homicidal world.
Matt Coyle has won two Seamus Awards for earlier books in this series. While there is no need to have read earlier encounters, Rick Cahill's character is so riveting I intend to go back and devour them... I want to see this man's history. Like James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux or Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch, we have a heroic but flawed man being handled by a master author.
This happy discovery merits five stars from me. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
