Synopsis:
Remember those old Ace paperbacks, with two actioners in one volume? Stark House is reviving them, with the current offering holding all the slam-bang anyone might want.In Turnabout, ex-cop Frankie O'Neil is skeptical when a friend's death is ruled a suicide. He uncovers a crime unknown to the Ace masters: computer theft. These crooks have friends with guns, and halfway along the novel becomes a series of cliffhangers that hit another memory: movie serials. Will Frankie escape in time? Find out in the next chapter. You won't stop until you know.
Shallow Secrets moves slower, with a subtext: the power of chance to provoke horrors, then avenge them. Cop James Robinson doesn't just know the accused killer. They're roommates. The coincidence ruins his career. Then there are fresh killings, and Robinson is "a person of interest." Near the end, Robinson almost tells a woman that "there wasn't anything they could do to make the world safe" from murders. But coincidence can bring them down, as when someone sees something he's not supposed to.

My review;
This book is 2 novels in one. These are 2 different separate stories that will keep you interested throughout both. These are full of terror, action, twists and turns, that don't stop. The author of these 2 stories, Rick Ollerman, has written 2 fantastic thrillers that anyone who loves these kind of novels could not wait to read. The books are for adults as there is some adult content. I give these both a 4/5. I was given this book for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
This sounds like a perfect train commute or airplane read, two short(er) thrillers that can each be completed during the journey, there and back. I'm looking forward to picking up my copy!
