Description

A blockbusting new thriller introducing maverick FBI agent Steve Vail.

Move over Jack Reacher, here comes The Bricklayer. James Patterson
STEVE VAIL IS A MAVERICK.

A trained killer and former agent, Vail despises authority and he's never met a rule he didn't break. These days he's working as a bricklayer.

Now, Deputy Kate Bannon of the FBI desperately wants his help.

Because someone is killing their operatives - in complex, subtle, twisted ways - and the body count is rising fast. Someone holds a fatal grudge against the agency; someone who knows how it works, and wants a bloody revenge.

And it might be an inside job.

To stem the tide of murders, Vail must re-enter a world he hoped he left behind long ago - his own past.

Reviews

Noah Boyd brings his FBI experience to this dazzling thriller. The pace is frenetic, the action is unique, and the drama intense. We have a new American hero in Steve Vail Patricia Cornwell

The Bricklayer has terrific pace, surprises galore, and snappy dialogue in the appropriate places. Even better, it has a real hero. Move over Jack Reacher, here comes The Bricklayer James Patterson

Non-stop action and non-stop authenticity make this a real winner Lee Child

The Bricklayer is lots of fun, plenty smart, and great escapist reading. And Steve Vail is a magical agent. If I had my way, Id read stuff like this every minute Im not on deadline. Seymour Hersh
