Story
When John Milton witnesses a suspicious altercation between a young man and two thugs in a car auction parking lot, he can't resist getting involved. Milton came to Kansas City hoping to find a way out of danger. His recent vendetta against a cartel hitman who killed his friend has made him enemies in high places. Now he needs to find the only man who can get him out of this mess. But, like a moth to a flame, Milton is drawn to anyone who needs his help. And this time, he's also drawing the attention of money laundering criminals who really mean business.

Publisher's Summary
Is John Milton on the path to redemption or the road to revenge?
John Milton has done some bad things in his life. Very bad things. Now he’s looking for ways to make amends. But trouble always seems to be looking for him.
Heading from San Francisco to Las Vegas, Milton’s solo road trip takes an unexpected turn when he picks up Jessica Russo, a young woman in distress at the side of the road. She urgently needs a ride, and he’s happy to help her out.
But what starts out as a simple favour quickly becomes something more sinister. Once they get to their destination, it’s clear something isn’t right. Working for the Vegas casinos has got Jessica’s father wrapped up with the wrong people. A mistake that could prove fatal for him and his family.
This is just the beginning of a dangerous journey that will take Milton from Sin City to Siena and beyond. As Milton goes deeper into a world of violence, ruthlessness and revenge, will he finally put his demons to rest? Or is he about to awaken the devil he’s been trying to smother for so long?

One of the best of the series!
The quality of the novels in Mark Dawson's John Milton series has been somewhat variable recently, but BRIGHT LIGHTS is a solid 5 star suspense thriller. The ending of this novel sets up the next book in the series. Author Dawson releases novels in this series every 6 or 7 months so the wait will not be long.

Not his best
I ha listened to everyone of John Milton adventures. This one just seemed forced. Characters were not developed. The “girl” that needed his help turned out not to need his help. In the end he is set for retribution and the book ends. All John Milton books are good, this one was just not as good as the others.

Release the Beast!
Just minding his own business, continuing to work the 9th Step, Milton is drawn into a web of deceit and murder. Nothing is as it seems, and good and bad get flip-flopped. But some things are just so wrong they must be righted. Milton has some hard decisions to make here. These skills he has, they have been gained at a price. This is one of the best Milton stories. There's plenty of action, mystery, suspense, and surprise. Our mild-mannered hero continues to grow in introspection, while David Thorpe continues to bring all the people to life!

Thanks to David Thorpe
Sometimes a reader is so good that I get hooked. David Thorpe is a good example. I get a shot of joy just hearing him say "chapter four" (or whatever the number — and Mark Dawson's novels with their short chapters give him ample occasion to display this unique effect.) He says the chapter number in an energetic, invigorating way that immediately takes you out of the drama of the story (as well as your own drama whatever that may be!) and resets your good humour. It is also the perfect transition from one scene to another that is different. Dawson's novels are entertaining enough, but I might not be quite so impatient for them were I not so hooked on David Thorpe's delightful narration. Every now and then a reader is so perfectly suited for a particular series that I can hardly imagine another. One such is Dick Hill in Lee Child's Reacher novels: I was greatly dismayed when the last one featured Scott Brick rather than Dick Hill. I just hope no Milton novel will ever appear with another reader than David Thorpe!
