ⓘ About Brian Freeman
In Stripped the action is once again takes the reader to Las Vegas where Jonathan Stride, together with his partner Serena Dial set to work on two seemingly unrelated cases – a hit-and-run of a young boy and a celebrity murdered while enjoying the services of an escort. The vivid cast of characters are well-developed, and the descriptions of a 40-year old murder takes the reader to the old days of Las Vegas, allowing readers to rejoice in perhaps the most colorful part of the book. Freeman’s writing is at its best here: terse descriptions mix with crisp dialogue and characters that are not only believable but stick in your head long after you’ve put the page-turner down.
