It was clear to me when reading Rampage: A Jason Scarsdale Novel by Alan Brenham that this author truly knows his stuff. Written as a gritty detective novel, Rampage follows Detective Jason Scarsdale as he transitions back to the homicide division from the sex crimes division in the Austin police department. Assigned a new partner, the enthusiastic and highly attractive Tatum Harper, Scarsdale gets prepared to chase down a vicious gang already accused of several brutal murders. With death tolls rising and a trip with his daughter to visit his romantic partner, Dani Mueller, in the offing, the pressures on Detective Scarsdale mount.

I love police procedurals. Love them. The mystery, action, adventure and excitement of the books have always intrigued me and kept me coming back for more. But I must admit that I’ve been getting a bit jaded lately. So many of them seem the same, it’s almost as if some authors are following a script. Not so with Alan Brenham’s Rampage: A Jason Scarsdale Novel. This book had me hooked from page one, and took me on a wild ride from there. The character development, pacing, scene development and overall feel of the book were spot on. I meant to pick it up and read a few chapters before bed; instead I plowed through the whole thing, determined to get to the end to find out what happened.

Rampage would appeal to any reader who enjoys action/adventure, mysteries, detective books or police procedurals, or any reader who just likes a good book in general. This is the first book that I’ve read by Alan Brenham, but it certainly won’t be the last. I can’t wait to see what this author has for us next!

Thank you. Price of Justice was the first in the Scarsdale series. Another novel, Cornered, follows another detective, Matt Brady. The sequel to Cornered is in the works.
