Representaion Toward Books The Guise of Another (Detective Max Rupert #2)

Who was James Putnam? Answering that question may mean salvation for Alexander Rupert, a Minnesota detective whose life is in a serious downward spiral. A Medal of Valor winner, Alexander is now under subpoena by a grand jury on suspicion of corruption. He’s been reassigned to the Frauds Unit, where he is shunned by his fellow detectives, and he fears his status-seeking wife may be having an affair. When he happens across a complex case of identity theft, Alexander sees an opportunity to rehabilitate his tattered reputation.

But the case explodes into far more than he could have expected, putting him in the path of trained assassin Drago Basta, a veteran of the Balkan wars who has been searching for “James Putnam” for years. As his life spins out of control, Alexander’s last hope may be his older brother, Max, a fellow police detective who steps in to try to save his brother from the carnage his investigation has let loose.

Column Of Books The Guise of Another (Detective Max Rupert #2)

Although this is Max Rupert #2, it mostly features his brother Alexander Rupert. Both brothers are cops. The bad guy, Drago Basta, gets fully fleshed out as well. The plot involved a case of stolen identity and a conspiracy that started years ago. I will definitely be reading the next book.

This didn't quite have the uniqueness/originality of Allen Eskens first novel The Life We Bury which was one of my top 5 books read in 2014, but it was still a right good read.Hard to put down, a very quick read and lots of unexpected twists.Will definitely be reading everything that this guy writes and looking forward to the next one due out later this year.

This little book was so unassuming and snuck up on me in the best way possible. Is it a police procedural? Yes. Is it a political thriller? Yes. Was it appealing in almost every way? Absolutely.The brief summary is that a man has been living his life under the identity of James Putnam, but we find out very early on that he indeed is not James Putman. What follows is a whirlwind game of cat and mouse; the tricky part is figuring out who is the cat and who is the mouse.I really don't want to give

The Guise of Another by Allen Eskens is the follow up to his award winning debut novel The Life We Bury. And he's crafted another great read!There's a clever tie in connecting the two books. Detective Max Rupert was the homicide cop in The Life We Bury. But it is his younger brother Alexander who takes the lead role in The Guise of Another. Alexander is also a cop, but one demoted down to the Fraud Squad, pending the outcome of an internal investigation. A possible identity theft case that

I was delighted to find this one--until 2/3 of the way through. The four stars are for that 2/3. The first part is refreshingly well-written--and plotted, and paced--a police-procedural thriller centering around a central Eskens theme--wrongful accusations that have long and hard repercussions. With his reputation wrongly blackened, Alexander wants to be a real cop again. Reading is a delight: "He hung up the phone and heaved in a deep breath of air, filling his nostrils with the unmistakable

I'm officially a fan of Allen Eskens!!! I was blown away with his first book and I liked this one very much as well. Very entertaining.

Didnt like this one as much as The Life We Bury, but I will still continue on to The Heavens May Fall! Thought this started really strong but fizzled out with part II and didnt regain the charm of part I. Too much shoot em up type story telling for me. Found Joe from TLWB to be a much more interesting protagonist than Alexander. Onto Heavens now!
