    About this ebook

    'Fans of James R. Benn’s “Billy Boyle” novels will appreciate this fast-paced, intense story … The action-packed account of investigations into the controversial CIA experiments is suspenseful and frightening.' Library Journal STARRED REVIEW

    In 1950s New York, Detective Michael Cassidy investigates a number of bizarre deaths while trying to avoid being assassinated himself.

    New York, 1956. A couple walking through Central Park on a fall evening are confronted by a hansom cab driver, only to kill him and casually walk away. Who are the couple and did they know the man? A man commits suicide by throwing himself through a hotel window. His colleagues claim he was depressed - but is there more to it than that? Before Detective Michael Cassidy even begins investigating these cases, he is threatened by an unknown man - the reasons for which are unclear. Are all three incidents connected? If so, how, and will Cassidy live long enough to find out before his would-be assassin claims his life?

      Not bad - it's a SEAL Team Ten story, after all - but not wonderful. I like Britt and Andy and the crisis Andy gets into, and I do like Wes and his coming to terms with his feelings - but come on. This is a guy whose defining characteristic, throughout the series, has been that he has a buddy who knows him inside out, who's hung out with him when he's gotten drunk, who's been portrayed as very perceptive about motivations. Not to mention his psychologist not-girlfriend. And he finally figures out why he feels so bad about his brother's death _now_? Isn't that just a trifle convenient? Dunno. The romance is pretty good, though the external threats are - not particularly believeable; the characterization is as good as usual - but somehow this one never quite triggers suspension of disbelief for me. Good, but not as good as the rest.
    • 5/5
      I really liked this book. It was only my second book to read in the series and I thought it worked fine as a "stand alone" story. I had read Taylor's Temptation about Wes' sister and I didn't think Wes was an appealing character, but I changed my mind with this book. It was a quick interesting read.

      Navy SEAL, Wes Skelly, reluctantly agrees to go a blind date with Brittany Evans, sister-in-law of a fellow SEAL. The two hit it off and their attraction grows as they spend time together. But their relationship is tested as Brittany begins getting sinister phone calls and Wes is called to the side of a woman he thought he loved when her husband is killed.NightWatch is one of Brockman's earlier Navy SEAL romances. It's always fun to keep up with former characters in her books and a Navy SEAL makes the perfect "alpha-male-hero". Great romance/suspense.
