But detective Jimmy Montone discovers on the tape the shadow of a hangman's noose--although Dennis supposedly died of a fall. Jimmy proves Dennis was pushed. Then a beautiful model intimate with Montone is found hanged, leaving behind a similar taped suicide note.

Summary: Before I Wake
Comment: I am always curious to know how a tirle comes into being. This one has left me a bit befuddled but did not spoil the enjoyment of this excellent thriller. Like a previous reviewer. I was almost put off by the first chapter but glad that I persisted. Eric Bowman's intros to each chapter could not be missed as they were an important element of the plot. In fact one could not read sloppily--skimming paragraphs or whole chapters without losing the plot completely. I love it when the vilain is known at the outset to see how the detectives figure it out. But why the pseudonym? It took some searching to discover just who this excellent writer is so I can read more!

Summary: A serial killer makes life hell for a New York City cop
Comment: Famous for bringing serial killer Wendell "the Slug" Sligo to justice, New York City homicide detective Jimmy Montone is accustomed to the spotlight, and so doesn't think twice before agreeing to allow British novelist Terence Peregrine Keyes to observe as he works a case "from start to finish." Likable and intelligent, Keyes has promised to stay out of the way, and Montone figures the NYPD can use the publicity.
Soon after agreeing to this arrangement, Montone is confronted with the apparent suicide of TV news anchor Mackenzie Davis. Skeptical from the start, Montone quickly determines the "suicide" was staged--someone forced Davis to tape a suicide video, then hurled him from the window of his thirty fifth-floor apartment. Days later, when Montone's new girlfriend is found dead under similar circumstances, he realizes that the killings are meant as a personal attack. It takes him longer, however, to realize that the murderer, one Terry Keyes, has been under his nose the whole time.
Keyes, who resents Montone's fame, has laid an intricate trap for his prey, toying with him for sport. Even when he becomes aware of Keyes' machinations, Montone lacks the solid evidence he needs to arrest him, and is forced to play a game of cat and mouse with his deranged opponent, a game that will result in the death of one of the players.
Eric Bowman is a pseudonym for Mark Frost, familiar to many readers as the co-creator of Twin Peaks and as author of The List of Seven and The Six Messiahs, which chronicle the fictional adventures of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes prototype Jack Sparks. This novel is different from those works, more straightforward and action oriented. Frost, clearly interested in describing the psychology of a madman, immediately lets readers know that Keyes has targeted Montone, and spends the rest of the novel making them squirm as they watch a killer manipulate his prey.
Although Frost has crafted a fast paced, intricate thriller that lends itself to quick reading, you'll want to take your time, because there's plenty to savor. Especially interesting are the excerpts from the writings of Terry Keyes which open each chapter. Here, Frost provides tantalizing glimpses into the mind of his killer, increasing the tension as the book hurtles towards its violent end.
While not as colorful as his previous novels, the book is well worth your time, mainly because of Frost's consummate skill in getting you to turn the next page.

Summary: page-turner, good characters
Comment: I liked the book except for the ending. Would have liked to have seen him connect the dots as far as the sister/other love interest goes. Pretty believable, good story line, I particularly liked the detective character.
