| "Masterful craftsmanship. THE PRESSURE OF DARKNESS is a dark and thrilling stroll along the knife edge."
-Cemetery Dance"A dark, thrilling tale of murder and intrigue that will have you turning the pages as fast as you can."
-CrimespreeCLICK TO ORDER FROM AMAZON.COM OR CLICK HERE FOR BARNES & NOBLE.COMTHE PRESSURE OF DARKNESS A Thriller by Harry Shannon Five Star Mysteries/Thompson Gale Hardcover ISBN: 1-59414-470-2 ADVANCE PRAISE:"Gritty, absorbing, and wonderfully written. Easily one of the best thrillers of the year." --J.A. Konrath, (Author of the Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels series) "A blend of horror, Eastern philosophy, Spec Ops thriller, and virus white-knuckler, The Pressure of Darkness keeps the pages turning as fast as your hands can move. Strap in and read fast, or this one'll leave without you." --Gregg Hurwitz (Author of the Tim Rackley series) ...In this fast paced, genre-bending adventure, best-selling author Peter Stryker is found in a locked suite after what the police describe as a night of ‘self-mutilation.' According to their report, Stryker laid out medical instruments, filleted his own flesh, and cauterized each wound unto death. Would a man commit suicide by butchering his own body? Stryker's daughter Nicole does not accept the theory. "My father was terrified of death," she tells PI Jack Burke. "I want to know what happened in that hotel room. And why." Burke, who is working both sides of the law to pay his wife's mounting medical bills, involves the surviving members of the Delta team that served with him in Somalia--Detective Scotty Bowden, who stepped over that thin blue line to go on the take, and wheelchair-bound Coroner Doc Washington, crippled during their final mission, who is losing a battle with painkillers. Jack Burke rekindles a passionate love affair with another man's wife. Meanwhile the violent, bloody, and very complex investigation leads him deep into corruption and conspiracy, facing both a vicious drug lord out to settle old scores and an evil cult whose leader seeks to destroy this world, and create the next, by unleashing a deadly new virus. One final mission, one last chance for redemption... “If Michael Herr, David Morrell and Robert Stone wrote a book together, this would be it. ‘The Pressure of Darkness’ is a tremendous novel that works on every level.” --Ken Bruen (Author of "The Guards" and "The Dramatist") "There is such a thing as the pressure of darkness."
