The Title Pretty Much Says it All

Pursuit by Thomas Perry

by Leave a Comment

Bingo: Left. Main antagonist leaves home to start his “life of adventure” as he puts it, a life of crime Thomas Perry’s Pursuit is not really a mystery and not quite a thriller. Two men—one a killer for hire, the other not much different but with a little less sociopathy—chase each other around … [Read more]
