Hollywood location scout John Pellam thought the scenic backwater town of Maddox, Missouri, would be the perfect site for an upcoming Bonnie and Clyde-style film. But after real bullets leave two people dead and one cop paralyzed, he's more sought after than the Barrow Gang. Pellam had unwittingly wandered onto the crime scene just minutes before the brutal hits. Now the feds and local police want him to talk. Mob enforcers want him silenced. And a mysterious blonde just wants him.
Trapped in a town full of sinister secrets and deadly deceptions, Pellam fears that death will imitate art, as the film shoot, and his life, race toward a breathtakingly bloody climax.

" Not Lincoln Rhyme, hard to follow at first. I think Pam (my wife) gave up on it. I was ok with it. "
— Charles, 6/10/2013" Not really vintage Deaver. Plot twists were a bit predictable and characters didn't seem too well fleshed out. Not sure if I was too tired to complete this, but the resolution also seemed rushed and left too many issues hanging. "
— Mark, 11/29/2012" Not for me. Deaver was still learning how to write thrillers here.The Location Scout series does not work. "
— Amanda, 11/18/2012" It was okay. Not one of my favorites. The unfortunate thing was that there were so many characters that I had trouble remembering who was who's side... "
— Emily, 6/12/2012" message...it's okay for the good guys to kill the bad guys and get away with it. "
— Ayny, 4/15/2010" It was a chore to finish this book. Certainly not up to par with his other books. "
— Lori, 1/13/2010" I like the main character but it bothers me that he can get away with murder. "
— Liz, 12/12/2009" i found the blatant police harassment very distasteful. I found I couldn't finish it as it was very upsetting. "
— Gary, 11/5/2009" Good not finish this book, it was too slow. "
— Sean, 10/31/2009" Just because I gave it 2 stars doesn't mean it's not a good book. I just think I should save the three stars for books that are more memorable. This is the second of three books by this author with this character. I plan to read the third as well. "
— Mary, 9/12/2009" Just because I gave it 2 stars doesn't mean it's not a good book. I just think I should save the three stars for books that are more memorable. This is the second of three books by this author with this character. I plan to read the third as well. "
— Mary, 8/1/2009" I like the main character but it bothers me that he can get away with murder. "
— Liz, 8/31/2008" Not Lincoln Rhyme, hard to follow at first. I think Pam (my wife) gave up on it. I was ok with it. <br/> "
