The Dread Line: the latest Liam Mulligan novel from award winning author Bruce DeSilva.

Since he got fired in spectacular fashion from his newspaper job last year, former investigative reporter Liam Mulligan has been piecing together a new life--one that straddles both sides of the law. He's getting some part-time work with his friend McCracken's detective agency. He's picking up beer money by freelancing for a local news website. And he's looking after his semi-retired mobster-friend's bookmaking business.

But Mulligan still manages to find trouble. He's feuding with a cat that keeps leaving its kills on his porch. He's obsessed with a baffling jewelry heist. And he's enraged that someone in town is torturing animals. All this keeps distracting him from a big case that needs his full attention. The New England Patriots, shaken by a series of murder charges against a star player, have hired Mulligan and McCracken to investigate the background of a college athlete they're thinking of drafting. At first, the job seems routine, but as soon as they begin asking questions, they get push-back. The player, it seems, has something to hide--and someone is willing to kill to make sure it remains secret.

DeSilva takes his character out of the box and that keeps him fresh

Reviewed in the United States on 11 September 2016

Bruce DeSilva's 5th book in his series featuring Liam Mulligan is a page-turner that I couldn't put done until I was finished! Most writers of series will tell you after a few books it becomes 'difficult' to keep the story-line and characters fresh. DeSilva doesn't seem to have that problem! He has taken his series character Mulligan 'out of the box' while keeping Mulligan's quirky, charming character fresh. He even manages to keep Mulligan's toes in the lowering stream of journalism. DeSilva's use of a strong female character and love interest of Mulligan's is done smoothly and, as in life, Mulligan wouldn't be as successful in his adventures without her! Liam Mulligan has to be one of today's great characters in mystery fiction! And DeSilva is one of the those writers you use to judge other mystery writers by. And rightfully so! A book worth spending the day inside or even outside, weather permitting, reading and it goes well with a good cigar and a little Jameson's.

The Dread Line is sure not dreadful.

I grab Bruce DeSilva's books as soon as they come out. Not just a detective novel, DeSilva brings a special New England flavor to his writing, much like Carl Hiaassen and Randy White with their books on Florida. This particular novel is centered on Jamestown, a small town in the middle of the entrance of Narragansett Bay in RI, with action extending into Providence, Warren and Newport and a little into Boston. His main character is an ex journalist for a RI newspaper, part time detective, bookie and Boston Red Sox fan. DeSilva tells a good tale and he is worth the read.

Starts off a little slow, but rewards those who stick with it

Reviewed in the United States on 21 October 2016

Not the typical Bruce DeSilva in that this one starts off a little slow for first 20 to 40 pages and then picks up steam. This has several mysteries going on at the same time, some tied into the whole, some not. Lots of interesting characters. The hero is entering a new phase of his life. This is a good series to read in order so you understand the relationships.

The Dreadline is terrific!

Reviewed in the United States on 5 January 2017

DeSilva is a terrific writer. His characters are strong, realistic, and sympathetic. A literate reporter/detective. City government officials that are all too real. Crime figures that figure criminally. And sports. Yeah, "sports" is a character here. Plot? Holy Hootis. This guy can write! The setting of the book is Little Rhody, and anyone who has lived there knows exactly where the story is taking place. This is crime fiction at its tip-top.

Spenser lovers will not be disappointed. There isn't a superfluous word in this novel.
