The Guise of Another
"Who was James Putnam? The answer to that question may help Minnesota detective Alexander Rupert salvage the wreck of his career. A former Medal of Valor winner, Rupert is now under subpoena by a grand jury on suspicion of corruption. So when he s asked to look into the false identity of a car-accident victim named James Putnam, a man who in fact died fifteen years earlier, Rupert sees a potentially big case and an opportunity to regain his respectability. But the investigation puts him in the path of the Beast, the nom de guerre of Drago Basta, a cunning veteran of the Balkan wars and a sociopath assassin who has been searching for Putnam for years. Putnam had something that Basta still wants. If Rupert s life was in shambles before, it s now also in danger. Threatened by the Beast and suspecting his wife of cheating, Rupert falls for the seductions of the dead man s former girlfriend. As he feels his life spinning out of control, his steadfast brother and fellow police detective Max may be Rupert s last hope."

I liked the pace of this book. It was a pretty fast read and even the confrontational scenes read quickly and realistically. Nothing drug on and the characters had some depth. I definitely want to read this authors first book, as well.

Written by Allen Eskens, this novel follows Max Rupert's brother Alexander who has fallen from grace. This novel is very well written, but it is a very dark story and looks at the dark parts of life - if you are up for that kind of mystery, I think you will really enjoy this novel.
