Someone is killing off people exactly how they saw it in their dreams.
Billionaire, Milo Harper opened an facility called The Harper Institute of the Mind. An old acquaintance’s of Milo’s recommends Jack Davis to Milo. Jack used to work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Jack is looking for something new to pass the time. Milo contacts Jack for a favor. He needs Jack’s help to find the killer and fast. Milo is under pressure to put a stop to the killings. All of the victims were study subjects at the institute. The institute’s goal was to help all of the people control their dreams. If you thought your dreams could only kill you in the movies, than think again. As there is a Dead Man walking and he is coming for you.
The Dead Man is the second book to feature former FBI agent Jack Davis. This book can be read as a stand alone novel. While I did enjoy this thriller, I had a slight issue with the fact that I was able to figure out the killer right off the bat and there was a secondary situation involving Jack that I couldn’t really tell you about as I wasn’t as interested in it as I was the main plot. Overall though I was slightly disappointed in this book, I would still give another Joel Goldman novel a try.

Excellent book! Grabbed my attention from page one and had me guessing right up to the very end!

More gym reading. More free or really cheap Kindle picks. This was a decent little mystery, but the who in whodunit was painfully apparent around the time all signs pointed at the head dream guy whose name I can't remember now. I liked the interplay between Jack and his landlady. The relationship between Jack and his girlfriend fell really flat for me though. It was a decent enough read, but I'm not anxious to read any more.

"What took you so long?"
Similar to mesmerizing moments that you remember your whole life, there are certain lines/dialogues of literary world that haunts you forever...
I didn't expect something of that sort will happen when I picked up this book. I enjoyed Jack Davis's first adventure Shakedown but this one is better. This is multi threaded, emotional and has a chilling finale.
This is one of those books where I was blown away the way the victim/savior dynamics changed and made me/reader look like a fool!
Highly recommended..
