The day begins like any other: Terry Rankin, sole proprietor of Rankin Personal Security Services in Orlando, Florida, accepts a private meeting with a potential client. Sheila Adamson is looking for a bodyguard to protect her from her abusive husband, but Rankin refuses to take the job until she begins divorce proceedings. Moments later, Mrs. Adamson is dead and Rankin is buried beneath the rubble of his house, knocked flat by a car bomb planted in the dead woman’s Jaguar. When he’s questioned by the local police, Rankin learns that Adamson’s attorney has also turned up dead, his Cadillac riddled with bullets. Suspecting there is more to these murders than a domestic dispute, he teams up with Orlando cop Cathy Diamond for a thrilling—and treacherous—adventure that will lead them deep into the heart of the Everglades and hot on the trail of a dangerous criminal. In Rankin’s sardonic bodyguard-turned-investigator, Gary Showalter has created a new hero for fans of hardboiled mysteries.

5,0 su 5 stelle Excellent book!!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 30 novembre 2014

I just finished the first book in what I believe will be a marvelous series. I was really, really impressed with this author's writing style and want to applaud him in writing an outstanding book that had me laughing over the subtle and self-deprecating humor and cheering the hero on. It's really rare in today's world to read a truly excellent piece of fiction.This author does it. He didn't have a plot with lots of sex that so many authors rely upon to sell their books and then not caring that their storyline is weak. I appreciated that I didn't have to wade through sexual plotlines to get to the meat of the story. I usually throw those books away without finishing with the delete button! I want to read something that keeps me turning the pages without thought of time and then sighing in disappointment that the book is finished. I was very happy when I finished this book, which I read for hours before getting out of bed this morning, hurrying online to see if there was a 2nd book and chortling happily that there were 3 more books to buy in this series!!!! I'm going to look around to see if there's an audiobook for my husband to listen to. If there isn't I sure hope there will be audiobooks of this series as I know my husband will enjoy all of them also. If you like interesting and nail biting plotlines you won't go wrong with buying this book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did,

Downloaded this book for free and I have to say I was not disappointed. It is very well written with a good plot and characters. I am looking forward to reading the other two books in this series.

I enjoyed this, but was worried about the vast amounts of coffee our hero Terry, consumed, he must have been permanently hyper. Less coffee drinking and more alligators, that is my recommendation. The story was good, but needed too much explanation at the end. I liked the sense of place.

4,0 su 5 stelle A Thriller that is Realistic, Entrancing and a Fascinating Study of People
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 9 febbraio 2010

I read Gary Showalter's book The Big Bend and was entranced by many aspects of this thriller novel.

I was captured by the down-home, personal-narrative style done in such a way that gave me the feeling of being intimately involved in the life of the main character, Terry Rankin.

With many movies and TV shows I'm able to second-guess the writer and figure out what the next move or event in the narrative will be. When I'm able to do that I loose interest quickly. However, in the case of The Big Bend Showalter's writing led me, the reader, down paths where I could not fathom the next step or predict the next move by the characters, and that made this book very hard to put down.

Realistic events are a significant part of this book. Showalter has given attention to little details in the narrative to the point where they are believable and can satisfy one with a critical attitude. Many times in novels and TV shows there are parts of the story line or details that would not be plausible in real life but Showalter has avoided that pitfall and is able to incorporate complete realism in his story line.

The Big Bend is simply a good thriller and who-done-it and the cycles of tension and relaxation are well arranged so that the reader is drawn into the narrative without being overwhelmed by too much action and high drama.

Then there are the interpersonal relationships that are an important part of this book that give meaning and reason for the characters behaving as they do. The relationships among the characters are a vital part of this novel and they make the backbone of the narrative. I also found the interplay of sometimes simple and sometimes complex psychological drives of the characters to be a refreshing study of both normal and pathological motivations of human beings.

Overall, it is an excellent novel, one that captured my imagination, was extremely well done as a thriller and it held my keen interest throughout. With this fine example of Showalter's writing I'm anxious to read any future novels that he may provide.

3,0 su 5 stelle A little too long.

I had a hard time getting through this book. I lost track of who was who in regard to the Iranian/Middle East people. The story just seemed to go on and on. I like books a little shorter than this one was. Quick reads and instant gradification!
A little too much violence but at least it was not graphic. I did like how the author explained what happened at the end, otherwise I would have been Lost! Lost! Lost!
