The Devil in the Clock — Harry Shannon

Mick Callahan was a famous television psychologist until alcoholism and ego brought him down. Now he's a loyal friend with a hot temper and a talent for getting into trouble. He's trying to put his life back together, but something always gets in the way. In this brand new adventure, the fifth book in the popular series, Callahan suffers a devastating loss that forces him to hunt down a ruthless professional killer.

"Mick Callahan is a man with a past, a mean right hook, and a talk show. He's pretty good at giving people advice - just not necessarily good at taking it. The strength of this series is in its central characters, flawed, human, often funny, sometimes tragic, and the relationships among them."
-- Mystery Scene

"A flawed and edgy hero. Dark wit, excellent writing and action-packed pace."
-- The Rap Sheet, January Magazine

"Mick Callahan is not only likeable (as deemed by Library Journal) but he manages to endear himself as a very realistic hero, with a strong sense of purpose and an equal dash of vulnerability."
-- Cemetery Dance

"Mick's long road to redemption is wry, bittersweet and altogether touching."
