Editorial Reviews

Despite the author's choice to expose the villains' perspectives, Brenham still injects some mystery into the plot. The real names of Mad Dog's henchmen, for example, are initially unknown, so readers aren't sure when Scarsdale and Harper are questioning a guilty party. There's likewise a baddie included who may have ties to one of Scarsdale's previous cases and a preceding book, Price of Justice (2013). The story relies mostly on a solid amount of suspense.

Rampage is about solving an intriguing set of crimes, and the journey is a satisfying one for anyone who loves police procedurals. But far more intense is the dynamic between Scarsdale and Harper, a man and woman working long, tense hours together, and its fallout for those around them. The awkwardness when they run into Harper's ex-husband is nothing short of delicious. The scene when he finally surrenders to his desires is a masterpiece.
