Open Chains D F Bailey

Fifteen murdered. Seven witnesses. One by one they fall. OPEN CHAINS combines the winding plot twists of Dennis Lehane's SHUTTER ISLAND with the dizzying heights of Hitchcock's VERTIGO. One of these days, solid and reliable writers will be classified as 'Writes like D. F. Bailey'."--Walter ScottAs Will Finch polishes the final chapter in his new book, Eve Noon drives up from San Francisco to spend a week with him in a remote island hideaway. Little does she know of the menace that is tracking every step of her journey. The trauma begins that same night when an Iraq war vet arrives at their door. He pleads with Finch to heed a warning: "There's trouble coming at us. All of us." Sounds like Julius Caesar's omen: "Beware the Ides of March." But as Finch soon realizes, their situation is worse. Much worse. OPEN CHAINS races from the battlefields of Iraq to the dive bars of San Francisco to the headquarters of a tech genius in Seattle -- and onwards to the cabinet of the president of the United States. When this marathon has run its course you will be slumped over in a cold sweat, wondering how you managed to survive the unrelenting tension and suspense.
