The Dead Man

The Dead Man
by Joel Goldman

This is the second installment of Joel Goldman's Jack Davis series. Jack is a "retired" FBI agent - he was forced to leave the bureau due to a severe movement disorder that momentarily paralyzes him and makes him twitch. In this episode, he reluctantly takes a job as security director for billionaire Milo Harper's dream research institute. Subjects in a dream study begin dying in exactly the same way they did in the nightmares that were being studied. Jack's efforts to catch this brutal serial killer get tied up with his personal life and his former life on the job with the FBI. Shakedown is the first title in this series. I enjoyed them both.
