Description
In this incendiary thriller from three-time Edgar Award winner and New York Times best-selling author T. Jefferson Parker, Roland Ford is hunting down a mysterious killer, jockeying for position with the FBI, and risking everything to save a friend in terrible jeopardy.
Returning hero and private investigator Roland Ford is on the trail of a mysterious killer who is beheading CIA drone operators and leaving puzzling clues at each crime scene. His troubled friend Lindsay Rakes is afraid for her own life and the life of her son after a fellow flight crew member is killed in brutal fashion. Even more terrifying is the odd note the killer left behind: "Welcome to Caliphornia. This is not the last."
Ford strikes an uneasy alliance with San Diego-based FBI agent Joan Taucher, who is tough as nails but haunted by what she sees as the Bureau's failure to catch the 9/11 terrorists, many of whom spent their last days in her city. As the killer strikes again, Ford and Taucher dash into the fray, each desperate for their own reasons - each ready to risk it all to stop the killer from doing far more damage.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Roland Ford is a compelling hero: financially comfortable but not emotionally complacent, empathetic and equipped with the training and inclination to vanquish wickedness. Mr. Parker’s devotees should be well-pleased.” (Wall Street Journal)
“Non-stop action…[T. Jefferson Parker’s] new series succeeds not only in entertaining but also in challenging readers to ponder the circle of vengeance unleashed by the Iraq war and America's seemingly endless war on terror.” (Associated Press)
“Terrific...The hunt for Caliphornia is suspenseful, the backstory behind the threats is disturbingly horrible, and the denouement is scary and satisfying. Parker deepens the narrative with musings on Ford's life, the horrors and ambiguities of the war on terror, and the fine line between justice and vengeance.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

Disappointment from a usually reliable author
I am usually an eager consumer of the fiction of T. Jefferson Parker but in "Swift Vengeance" he has fallen fall short of his high standards. This is a genuinely boring book, perhaps because the hunt for an Islamic terrorist uses boring methods -- computer searches of this and that database, long stakeouts where nothing happens, long tailing of suspects on minutely-recounted routes through San Diego. Then there is the endless repetition of his memories of his dead wife Justine.
The tediousness is made worse by the narrator's voice -- it is a pleasant, professional voice but it is completely wrong for the character. It is far too modulated and low-key for a 6ft 3in ex-Marine, ex-boxer, ex-policeman, private investigator.
I rely on audiobooks to keep up my spirits as I labour on my treadmill but "Swift Vengeance" was not helpful or interesting.
