The Bricklayer

fullDescription

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING NINA DOBREV AND AARON ECKHART

"Terrific pace, surprises galore....Move over Jack Reacher, here comes The Bricklayer." —James Patterson

Someone will kill and kill again if it means he can fool the FBI . . .

Ex-FBI agent Steve Vail is more than happy to leave the Bureau behind, but they aren't through with him yet. A group called the Rubaco Pentad is holding the FBI up for buckets of cash, with an escalating body count as leverage. The Feds are stumped. Some signs point to a corrupt agent while others lead to completely dead ends.

Vail has built a reputation for being able to find anybody anywhere. Now, with no official ties, he's the perfect choice for this under-the-radar investigation. But as Vail well knows, going after people who use killing as a bargaining chip is asking for the worst kind of trouble.

The Bricklayer is a gripping debut of an iconic new hero, and is brought to us with the startling authenticity only a real insider can provide. Noah Boyd has created a mind-twisting maze of clues inside a nonstop thrill ride that is guaranteed to keep readers on edge until the final page.

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

reviews

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Michael McConnohie's sturdy, self-confident voice is well suited to this thriller about a former FBI agent who is brought into a complex case because of his ability to understand the criminal mind--and his willingness to work outside the rules. Steve Vail left the bureaucracy of the FBI in favor of the independence of bricklaying. But he reluctantly agrees to track down the dangerous gang that is extorting money from the FBI and killing high-profile civilians. McConnohie's consistently masculine narration adds credibility to Vail's personal moral code, but his almost-completely straight delivery renders some of the dialogue confusing. Vail's impressive ability to overcome a series of twisted traps is somewhat implausible, but entertaining. N.M.C. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

     November 2, 2009
     The pseudonymous Boyd, a former FBI agent, fails to bring much convincing insider information to his debut, a routine thriller. FBI deputy assistant director Kate Bannon tracks down Steve Vail, a maverick FBI agent who left the bureau for a new life as a Chicago bricklayer, because she needs Vail's help in apprehending a criminal gang, the Rubaco Pentad, with a grudge against the FBI. The Pentad follows up the murder of L.A. reporter Connie Lysander, who wrote a story critical of the FBI, with ever-increasing demands for money from the bureau to forestall future killings and the setting of sophisticated death traps. When an agent disappears while making a payoff to the gang, he becomes a prime suspect, despite Vail's reservations. Predictable plot elements include the hero's incredible escapes from peril and the growing romantic bond between the laconic Vail and the attractive Bannon. The identity of the person behind the Pentad will surprise few.
