Dead man falling

the long version

False identities, the persistence of memory, and the refusal to admit that love cannot save you, combine in a razor-edged crime novel by the author of An Occasional Hell. Mac Parris isn't who he appears to be. A wildlife filmmaker living under an assumed name, he knows firsthand that the most dangerous animal of all is the one behind the camera. He has spent his adult life hiding from the FBI and his own past, while locked in a feverish pursuit of revenge. Although a master of self-denial, Parris has not learned to subdue the one quality that might prove his undoing: compassion. So when a young woman with secrets of her own asks for help in finding her brother's killer, Parris puts his own safety at stake ... along with his freedom and maybe even his soul.
