Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. Book 1st edition, October 200, with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. "The familiar device of revenge killing is given horrific new twists in this gripping debut, as Mooney propels the reader into breathless suspense. The action kicks off with a literal bang: it's July 4 in Marblehead, Mass., where a serial killer, determined to erase evidence of a multiple slaying, sets off a bomb that wipes out several homes. Called in to investigate is Jack Casey, a former hotshot FBI profiler who's attempting to mend his shattered life as a detective on the Marblehead police force. Six years earlier, he watched, bound and drugged, while a madman killed his wife and unborn child. As the house bombings continue, Jack's assignment begins to undermine his sanity; recollections of the past crowd upon him, and his increasingly fragile condition threatens a current romantic relationship. Along the way Casey joins forces with the dark and fascinating Malcolm Fletcher, a renegade from the profiling department given to quoting Oscar Wilde, reading Le Morte d'Arthur in French and delivering the odd wisecrack ("I've seen your efforts. A high school freshman trying to unclasp a bra has a more polished approach"). Fascinating, too, is the novel's villain, the self-proclaimed Sandman, whose fiendish use of up-to-the-minute technology, for both surveillance and destruction, lends the novel some of its most distinctive details. Mooney's cinematic eye, unerring ear for vivid dialogue and deft touches of humanityDoften interjected in moving counterpoint to the plot's malevolenceDcombine to turn this novel, despite some genre clich s (e.g., the traumatized cop), into a rousing read."--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY.

Fine in Fine jacket. Book First edition, first printing, hardcover. 370 pages. Head/tail of spine lightly bumped, else fine, in a fine dust jacket. Protective mylar cover on jacket. Review copy with promotional material laid in. Author's first novel.
"Deviant Ways" the first novel by a young Chris Mooney.
?Deviant Ways? is a very imaginative, scary, and fast moving thriller. The characters were well developed, with clear relationships and histories. Their personal strengths and weakness? held throughout the storyline.
The villain (?Gabriel LaRouche, aka the Sandman?) was very disturbing character. He has no compassion or fear, making him a constant torment and threat. His over-kill for sadistic torture and physical violence create a hell on earth for his victims and his pursuers alike.
The main hero (?Jack Casey?) is drawn into the villain?s web by his profession history and traumatic memories for earlier crimes.
I believe that most thriller and mystery readers will find Mr. Mooney?s first work very entertaining. I am looking forward to reading his other works.
