Book Review: ‘Deadlock: A Dez Limerick Gatekeepers Novel’ By James Byrne

The second book in The Gatekeeper series is badass. This time around, Dez (as his friends call him) gets a call from his friend Raziah, whose sister was attacked in Portland, and asks for his help in protecting her. He soon figures out it’s a company called Clockjack, a tech company, that has exploded in the past few years. Dez and the girls soon find themselves being hunted by the bad guys at the company, the US Marshals, and The DEA. Dez is a man who can take care of himself, and most times he can get out of bad situations. They take the fight to him, and when they don’t finish the job, they better watch out. Dez takes no prisoners, and by the time this is all over, there will be a string of dead bodies. Fans of novels like Jack Reacher, The Grey Man, and Orphan X will love this second book. Dez is an awesome character, who kicks-ass, is well-written, and even has some LOL moments. Here’s to more years of this character.

You can pick up Deadlock in stores on Tuesday, August 8th from Minotaur Books.
