How do you outwit crazy? Doesn’t any attempt to outwit someone delusional define delusional? Chicago Homicide Detective Nick Stryker worries he may have more than one crazy in his current case. As a former Navy SEAL, Nick thought he had already seen the worst of humanity. Someone harbors murderous intentions and is hiding within the intricately woven fabric of delusions. One or more of them have crossed over to a level of crazy that propagates immeasurable evil. His gut tells him he must use himself as bait. His mind tells him he’ll be placing himself in a deadly battle at the cusp of crazy.

Join the Shallow End Gals as they lead you down a dark, gritty path of murder and madness in a new series featuring Chicago Homicide Detective Nick Stryker.

Review

"Vigilante Justice! Serial Killer! It will leave you guessing until the very end! A must read!".......Herald Sun Review

From the Author

The Nick Stryker Series does not have a 'paranormal' theme like our other works; Alcohol Was Not Involved, Extreme Heat Warning, Silent Crickets, and Catahoula.

Chicago Homicide Detective Nick Stryker is a former Navy SEAL making a dent in Chicago crime, his way.

'Twisted', Nick Stryker Series, book two.
'Zero Margin', Nick Stryker, book three
'Wrong Exit', book four

The 'Shallow End Gals' are now internationally known authors of mystery and thrillers!

We sit at the short end of our neighborhood bar for storytelling and lunch a few times per week. This is where our stories are born and alcohol is not involved. There are now four of us; Teresa Duncan, Vicki Graybosch, Linda McGregor and Kimberly Troutman. On February 27, 2013 our friend and co-author Mary Hale unexpectedly passed.

Mary is the one in our picture with the white hair and a halo behind her. She was a retired teacher, a retired realtor, an inspirational friend and the first one to burst into song with the faintest of prompting.

Teresa Duncan is a professional with UPS, a world traveler, a fierce supporter of humanity, and the living definition of friend. Teresa has never met a stranger and has an acute curiosity about people and life. Teresa is definitely who you want to 'have your back' in times of need.

Linda McGregor is a retired mortgage professional, an employee of local government and a staunch supporter of family, human rights and the plights of the less fortunate. Gifted in crafts and art and blessed with an expansive sense of humor. Linda is a born negotiator.

Vicki Graybosch is a retired mortgage professional and an avid researcher. Her life experiences and observations of the world primarily come from her computer and the comfort of her desk chair these days. Blessed with the type of mind that seeks to unearth the unique and reshape it into something humorous or memorable, she has assumed the role of placing pen to paper for the group.

Kimberly Troutman, Vicki's daughter, is a full time dealer at the local casino and much too young to be retired from anything. Her role in our group is to contribute her youthful perspectives, humor, and temper our devious plots.

The collective imaginations are powerful. The honest sharing of deeply held convictions is inspirational and motivational. Our goal is to tell stories in such a way that readers feel they have become one of our characters. We do not define our character's race. All sex is behind closed doors and cursing is held to a minimum. Sound boring? Buy a book and hang on!

This book will keep you turning pages. Well written mystery that kept me rethinking the murderer. Moderate language and sex which could have been left out without ruining the story. That is the reason for my four star rating.

I enjoyed the book. In some places the switch from one character to another wasn't clear. So, I had to back up a paragraph to get on the right track. Some misdirection near the end was good. I liked it well enough to read the next book in the series.

My first read by these great gals! Man, loved the crazy thrilling events & cast of characters. More Nick Stryker continued series or stand alone stories, please. Need more military trained "no fear" level headed kick ass & take names later law enforcement officers whose superiors don't bow down to politics! Thanks Galz!!

This first book in this series is great and worth your time to read.
Only problem is that the same problem of other authors; have a very nice first book, then charge way too much for the following books!
