Talented author, Tim Miller, provides another fascinating read with his newest thriller OUT OF NOWHERE. He pits two hired killers against an unscrupulous business tycoon-all directed by an anonymous voice on the phone. Detectives Jim Stanton and Shelly McGuire are thrown together to solve the case. OUT OF NOWHERE kept me turning pages to try and figure out who is the mysterious voice on the phone. Two times I thought I had it solved, then the story twisted again, totally confounding me. I raced through to the final twist, enjoying every minute of the action on the pages.I highly recommend OUT OF NOWHERE to readers who like fast paced thrillers with a sprinkle of humor. The chemistry between detectives Jim Stanton and Shelly McGuire has me hoping that Mr. Miller is working on a sequel!

Out of Nowhere is one of those books you wish you could stop reading--but you can't. You HAVE to finish it. you have to find out who is pulling the strings behind all the bad things happening to the richest man in town, Reginald Spencer. The man who owns the plant that supports the town and has been laying off LOTS of workers.You HAVE to follow the work of Jim Stanton, newly widowed, and his new partner, Shelly McGuire, as they put the pieces together. You MUST know if the killers are smarter and more determined that the detectives following them.Out of Nowhere is not a "cozy" read. If you like sunshine and sweetness in your mysteries--well, you won't find much of that in this book. The killers are brutal, the descriptions can be graphic. I found it hard to decide which of the two killers was the most frightening--loose cannon Cooper(who LOVES blood-and inflicting pain)or cold-so very cold- Cutter(who kills because it's his job and he does it without emotion).Mr. Miller displays his knowledge of the police scene effectively. The politics of police work show up in Stanton's dealings with his superiors and with the mayor and Reginald Spencer. Stanton tries to do his job in spite of interference from higher ups.A real highlight of the novel is the byplay between Jim and Shelly as they move from antagonism to teamwork to a hint of something more personal. Shelly McGuire is a wonderful character! Her wit, intelligence and courage add a great deal to the story. Her no-holds-barred approach to life fills the book with enery and a great deal of excitement. She is definitely an asset to Jim Stanton's work on the case.Reginald Spencer is being blackmailed by a person unknown. He has been ordered to call back all of the workers he laid off in an attempt to save his failing business. When he doesn't move fast enough to sulit the disembodied voice on the phone--people die in horrible ways. First, but not last, is his only son who is a victim of the two hired killers--in spite of professional security protection.Spencer is reluctant to lose his fortune and people pay for his reluctance. He tries to run and tries to hide but he's being watched. Will he pay the final price? Stanton and McGuire struggle against the unknown mastermind as well as the deadly killers.Out of Nowhere is full of twists, turns and surprises. There is a great deal of depth to the story. The characters are real--even the evil ones. Miller brings Cutter to life(if that word can be used for someone so cold and deadly). We see part of the story from Cutter's point of view. We see how and why he works. We delve into the madness of Cooper's bloodlust. We see the struggle of good against evil in the battle of wills between Cutter and Stanton. And we're not sure which will win.I found my emotions and my intellect involved in this book. I liked Stanton and Shelly(actually, I loved Shelly!) I felt revulsion and fear for the behavior of Cooper and Cutter. And I really disliked Reginald Spencer for b

Who belongs to the strange, mechanical voice that is giving orders to Reginald Spencer about how tohandle his business, Spencer Enterprises? When Reginald doesn't respond soon enough to please the voice,his only son Aaron Spencer is killed in a unique manner. But Reginald still has not rehired enough of theworkers that had to be let go for the financial survival of the company. He then loses his only daughter. Cooper and Cutter, the hired killers, don't know who the voice belongs to either, they just know he paysvery well, so they follow his orders to the letter. They receive the orders over the phone, and when the job isdone they find the money in a designated area. What could be simpler?Cutter likes to finish the job cleanly and leave, but Cooper is a sadistic slice-and-dice man who likes to takehis time until the last gurgle emanates. He kills not only for profit, but in his spare time he kills just for thefun of it. No, not for gratis, no one has hired him for these fun seeking sojourns. It's simply for his pleasure. Detectives Jim Stanton and his partner Shelly McGuire are with the Wright Valley Police Departmentworking the violent crimes unit. They knew this one was going to be a hard case to work on when they learnedthe victim was Reginald Spencer's son, and in particular after learning how Aaron died. They could not havebeen more right. This is Mr. Miller's second bone-chilling novel. It starts off with a bang - - uh, no, sorry, it starts with -- well never mind, you'll see; it's just what it takes to capture your full attention and hold it to the last page. You know the characters. They are everyone, yet no one. You see them in your neighborhood, stores,malls, hanging around airports, anyplace you might go. They are that real in the story, along with plenty ofaction to keep you reading. Mr. Miller is an excellent writer who knows how to make his characters come out of the book at you,or you are pulled into the book with them. However you like to read, this is one in which you are sure tobecome involved.Review by: Shirley Truax

...OUT OF NOWHERE is a suspense/thriller with a little humor and even some very light romance, all shrouded in a mystery that keeps you guessing until that very last page. OUT OF NOWHERE is an absolutely absorbing thriller that you will not be able to put aside until you figure out who the voice belongs to. And I do not think you can figure that out until the end. I didn't. And then you will laugh because it was there all the time. I recommend that everyone read OUT OF NOWHERE. It is a book that you will not forget in the near future. Mr. Miller is a very, very talented author. And he continues to prove it with this second book. Don't miss the chance to see Mr. Miller's star rise on the horizon in the literary world, because it is on its way and moving fast. I know I definitely will be there. I hope you will be too.
