Allander Atlasia is an infamous psychopath whose heinous crimes have earned him a lifetime stay at the Tower, the world's most extreme maximum-security prison. But after a brilliant and brutal escape, the criminal mastermind begins a killing spree that is intensely personal. Jade Marlow is an ex-FBI profiler and tracker whose fearlessness is only surpassed by the severity of his own inner demons. With a record of irrational behavior and a genius for putting himself into the mind of a criminal predator, he may be the one man diabolical enough to catch Atlasia.

Publisher's Summary
A vigilante group made up of people like himself, relentless streetwise operators who have each lost a loved one to violent crime, the Commission confronts the failings of a system that sets predators loose to hunt again, cleaning up society's "mistakes" covertly, efficiently, and permanently. But Rackley soon discovers that playing God is a fearsome task. When his new secret life starts coming unwound at an alarming speed, he is suddenly caught in the most terrifying struggle he has ever faced, a desperate battle to save everything left that's worth fighting for.
What the critics say
"Hurwitz's deft descriptions of Tim's methods of disappearing, breaking-and-entering, and stealing identities are convincing, and his fast-paced plotting will keep readers riveted." (Publishers Weekly)

A little over the top for me
This book in my opinion could have ended up in Science Fiction. Main plot over the top for me.

loss of a child/vigilante justice
The brutal murder of their 7 year old daughter leads to the father's resignation of his career as a Deputy Marshall. The father then joins a group who claims to play "judge, jury, and executioner" when the justice system fails to do so. Only, he finds out more
It's good, but not his best (the others will blow you away). His novels get better as he writes. I like the Evan Smoak serious 5x more- those are take your breathe away good.
The narrator has FANTASTIC voices= it's shocking how different some of the voices/accents/annunciations are. very good narrator.
If you like 007/CIA type of action... you'll like this.

A Good WhoDunnit
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
A good book, a little slow to start, but picked up and got very interesting.
What other book might you compare The Kill Clause to and why?
"You're Next" is another Hurwitz book that's even better, especially in audible format. A bit long, but gripping.

A very good read
If you could sum up The Kill Clause in three words, what would they be?
Conspiracy, scheming deception
What did you like best about this story?
I like not really knowing which the book was going
Which scene was your favorite?
I guess my favorite scene was towards the end when the main character had his back up against the wall - and got out of the situation
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, no extreme reactions

Needed Scott Brick
I am a HUGE Gregg Hurwitz fan and I am so glad he found Scott Brick to read his books. This story could have been better but he was still new at the game. Hopefully the second one is better.

Did not realize it was abridged
Story is great, but I was disappointed to realize is bought an abridgement. Feels like important parts are missing.
