Synopses & Reviews
A white-collar criminal sess red, and creates a Boston bloodbath
Geoff Mann is young, tough, athletic, handsome, amoral: a vice president on his way up the corporate ladder, hooked on the adrenaline rush. But when he moves to Boston and gets beat out for the top slot, he quits on the spot. Immediately the idea of revenge on his rival gets him excited, and so without remorse or wasted motion, he goes on a killing rampage and kidnaps his rival's wife. The only man who can stop him is the man who got the job Geoff deserved. Eidson's new novel, Adrenaline, is fast-paced, intense, riveting, with not a word wasted -- a lean, mean thriller that confirms his place among the very best in the field.
"If the reader wants to go where the action is, this novel is the place to be .... With each new gritty crime novel he writes, Bill Eidson climbs closer to being the recognized standard maker for the sub-genre". -- Internet Bookwatch on The Guardian
"The Guardian erupts out of calm and tranquillity with the force of a missile, and it never stops sailing until it hits the target, a lovely feat in itself. The escalating tension yields moments of brutal, breathtaking surprise. I read The Guardian virtually all at once". -- Peter Straub
"The Guardian is first-rate stuff; lean prose, compelling storY, and verve in the telling. Don't miss it". -- Robert B. Parker
