The man in beige calls out, 'How 'bout I give you a hand with that, mister?' It always has been and always will be so. Any student of history, of science, knows the opposite is true.

Only moralists or lemmings think that weakness requires compassion and mercy. He also works the joystick on the arm of his wheelchair, but in vain-the motorized chair fails to respond to the command. He bends over at the waist, reaches down to the pavement, and struggles to pick up several items that have spilled out of a plastic grocery bag. There is one other vehicle in the lot, a Dodge Caravan the color of rust that's parked nose in about eight spaces away.Ī man in a wheelchair is in the middle of the lot.

The convenience store, displaying ads for cigarettes, beer, two-for-a-dollar hot dogs, Powerball tickets, is the only thing open. The laundromat at the end is dark the catering service is shuttered, a metal grate across the window. The setting summer sun casts a dim glow over the strip mall, nearly empty. He steps out of the car, straightens his jacket, and lightly brushes his hand against the bulge at his side, the concealed handgun. The man in the beige jacket pulls his SUV into the strip-mall parking lot and kills the engine. I do what I do for one, and only one, reason. I am not uneducated, I am not poor, and I am not the product of an abusive upbringing. Thank You.I AM neither evil nor deranged. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. The story moves at a pretty good pace with a few clues that could point to someone other than the antagonist. The surprising part is who is put in charge of that investigation. And someone in the FBI is feeding information to a reporter. At the same time there's a vigilante wrecking havoc on those that would hurt the sick and homeless. Telling no one, not even her fiancé this will become a wedge to drive them apart. When her superiors again (ditto in the first book) think she's set her sights on a nonexistent serial killer she takes her personal investigation on the road.

Having the ability to see connections where others see a coincidence or nothing at all can get her into hot water with those she answers to. The protagonist, Emmy Dockery is an analyst with the FBI. This book begins very similarly to the first. I would listen to them in order but I don't think it necessary as each book can be read as a stand alone. This is the second book in this James Patterson/Robert Ellis series.
