About this audiobook
After a long night on the job, Detective Sergeant Nick Miller is on his way home—only to become the first policeman at the scene of a young woman’s mysterious suicide. What’s odd is that it appears she tried to conceal her identity before doing herself in.…
Miller follows a hazardous trail to find the powerful man responsible for the girl’s fate, only to watch him walk out of court a free man. But the dead girl’s father swears to exact justice with or without the law on his side.… A fascinating and unusual thriller from “an accomplished storyteller” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch), Brought in Dead will keep you guessing until the final page.
“A Seasoned Pro.” —The New York Times Book Review

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another Jack Higgins offering.... :) I really can't get enough of him. I have never read another author where the pages just seem to disappear before your eyes. Often I sit down, start reading, and before I know it 3 or 4 hours have passed. Magic. For anyone familiar with Higgins work, this book is the second installment in the Nick Miller series (the first being [the graveyard shift]). Nick Miller is CID copper, but unlike his colleagues he has an independent income (much to their jealousy) and therefore only does the job as he feels that he needs to make a change to society. The book is written with a gritty realism of what life in the 60's must have been like, with many local businesses ruled under the threat of drug lords and crime barons. The book finds Nick Miller fishing a body out of a canal and not being able to detach himself from the case. Along the way to ensuring justice is triumphant (Nick Miller style) we come across beatings, Judo, shotguns, knives and drug addicts.... just what you need to cheer up a cold winter night :)There is a nice military aspect to the book, as expected from the author, and you really get the feeling that Higgins enjoys what he writes, equally as much as we enjoy reading it.The main thing that I find fascinating with these early novels is that many of the character traits are brought together to form Sean Dillon, Higgins' hero of his past 17 novels. Millers piano skills and martial arts are repeated along with many others created over the past 50 years.4 stars out of 5, not quite 100% but nearly there..... and easily recommendable
