Patrick Weill’s third book in the Park and Walker series is undoubtedly his best and indicative of how he continues to elevate the standard of storytelling in his action-packed books.
Harbor Police detectives Park and Walker are no strangers to dangerous missions. This time however they’re split up between two different objectives. While Park heads up a team undercover to identify and apprehend a serial killer operating on rough seas, Walker wades into a plot centered around political assassination, white supremacy, and narcotics trafficking. On paper, these seem like vastly different issues. However, the truth is stranger and much more entertaining as we see just how wild and unpredictable the chain of events lead to an enthralling conclusion, weaving the story across different parts of the world without losing momentum.
Weill crafts adrenaline-pumping action sequences that put you in the hot seat with bullets thumping all around you. Even the lead ups to the multiple action sequences are packed with tingling energy that help to maintain a steady pace meticulously designed to keep you turning the pages as each new chapter offers an exciting development that you don’t always see coming. It’s this bundle of energy that catapults you racing to the finale before you even realize you’ve zoomed past half the book in the blink of an eye. The closest such dynamic between the characters and the kinetic propulsion of action I can relate this new chapter to would be the latest Bad Boys movie. Weill keeps the situations current, the atmosphere tense, and the payoff stupendously worth it.
Double Threat is an extremely entertaining action-packed adventure through the seas to the coastal city with everything you’d want to read in a one-sitting thriller. I can’t wait to read where Weill takes his badass heroes next.
