One False Move by Alex Kava
4.0
I enjoyed reading this thriller and rate it 4 out 5 stars. The book starts with Jared Barnett, a truly evil, twisted killer being released from prison. He was convicted of a brutal murder, but his defense attorney has persuaded the only witness to recant his testimony and a judge orders a new trial. The prosecutor declines to prosecute with only circumstantial evidence. Jared then enlists his sister and her son in his new crime spree. There is a bank robbery where 4 people are killed, plus other murders, and a crime author taken hostage. The book builds to a satisfying climax, with a surprise ending.
The author lives in Nebraska, and based part of the book on an actual bank robbery, in Norfolk, Nebraska, in 2002, in which 5 people were killed. The bank, US Bancorp, responded with sensitivity. The physical branch location was torn down, a new branch built and a memorial erected in the shape of a star with five points (one for each of the victims).
I am counting this book for Nebraska in my US state challenge.
