I’ve come to the end of my Nick Holleran journey by
David Green – for now. Given that Green is currently working on the next one, I’m looking forward to getting my Holleran fix soon.

Book two of the Nick Holleran series by David Green did not disappoint. Highly recommend The Devil Walks in Blood.

Dead Man Walking by David Green is an excellent read.
"Nick Holleran has escaped death, and as a result, he can now see all the ghoulish things that live invisibly among us."
