Hutch is a newspaper columnist, single dad . . . and last defense against a lunatic’s high-tech killing machine.
Special Forces veteran-turned-billionaire Brendan Page has some dirty not-so-little secrets. He’s built an empire on supplying futuristic weapons and highly trained soldiers to the world’s most powerful armies.
But he’s saved his most destructive weapons for himself.
John Hutchinson, a Denver newspaper columnist and avid bow-hunter, has figured out the truth about Brendan Page and is determined to bring him down. But he’s up against a warmonger linked to assasinations, kidnappings, and terrorist activities.
Hutch quickly uncovers a plan that seems unfathomable in its recklessness and loss of life. Yet he’s just one man up against impossible odds–with no Plan B. Thankfully, it’s just the kind of environment Hutch thrives best in . . . if he can survive the next three days.
Deadlock will grab you from the riveting first page to its white-knuckle climax.
“With a blistering pace and irresistable characters, Deadlock is the best of high-octane suspense.”
– Gayle Lynds, New York Times best-selling author of The Last Spymaster

Summary
From: Isaac
Book Title: Deadlock
Book Author: Robert Liparulo
What do you like about this book:
I admire Liparulo’s story-telling, I think he is a master of thrills and gritty plots with unusually lovable characters. But with Deadlock, the writing I—and a good amount of other readers know and love has seemed to decline. Despite its fair share of thrills, Deadlock is probably the worst of Liparulo’s I've ever read. But that’s not saying much at all.
Sexual Content: When John’s ex-wife comes over and sees Laura, “just a friend” of his, she automatically assumes that she’s living with him. She makes a gawking remark about them sharing a room.
Violence: Not as gory as his previous novels, but that does not mean it passes as bloodless. The video simulator displays blood as black slim, which jets out of everyone they shoot.
Language: 3 uses of “h-ll”.
Drug/Alcohol: None that I can think of.
