The beginning of the end is a bullet destined for a real piece of shit. As often happens with bullets, it causes collateral damage, namely the death of a little girl. From there, a thread of death begins to unravel, linking a film set whose star is being stalked, three brothers considered the golden boys of the area but secretly bloodthirsty criminals, and a vicious drug trafficking cartel. Jack Bertolino, a retired detective turned private investigator, bodyguard and film consultant, tries to follow this thread to prevent further deaths, particularly that of the actress he is assisting. A fast-paced thriller with the right amount of psychological depth, in which the scenes of violence, although never sugar-coated, do not disturb the reader. An excellent read.

WOW!!!! I literally could not put this book down, having read it in a 24 hour period.

I became a fan of John Lansing after reading Blond Cargo and The Test and Dead Is Dead did not disappoint. Matter of fact, it was exceptional!!!!

Dead Is Dead is non stop, palpable, nail biting action! A definite page turner! Intriguing, thrilling, compelling!

Mr. Lansing's writing style is so descriptive that it allowed this reader to create vivid imagery.

I found only one negative with this book, which is, I now have to patiently wait for Mr. Lansing's next novel.

I highly recommend this read, however, plan to read it in one sitting as you won't be able to put it down!!!

Bravo John Lansing!!! You did it again!!!
