Comments: Mass market paperback from TOR Books (NY:2006) - Repairman Jack strikes again! Some spine creasing and edge wear. Pages clean, binding tight. "In Wilson's well-wrought ninth Repairman Jack novel (after 2004's Crisscross), the off-the-books fix-it man, urban vigilante and paranormal adventurer reconnects with his estranged brother, Tom, after their father is gunned down in a terrorist attack at La Guardia Airport." Clean with a bit of a cocked spine.

Product Description
The ninth Repairman Jack novel begins with a tragedy that throws Jack together with his brother Tom, a judge from Philadelphia. They've never been close and Jack, the career criminal, soon finds that he adheres to a higher ethical standard than his brother the judge.
Determined to get to know his brother better, Tom convinces Jack to go on a wild treasure hunt together. Armed only with a map pointing the way to a desolate wreck off the coast of Bermuda, the brothers come across something much stranger, and much more dangerous than mere treasure.

This is the last Repairman Jack novel I have read and completes all of them for me. Now I have to wait for the next one. A great series of thrillers that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

This was very creepy at 3 in the morning with still 50 pages to go, but when it ended it seemed a little too easily wrapped up, and in the light of day the next morning, definitely dropped a star. I enjoyed the search for sunken treasure, but I've read enough Clive Cussler to roll my eyes when they found a sunken ship in one afternoon using only scuba gear and an underwater hand-held sand blower.

I chose the cheap shipping and it was still here pretty quick, exactly what I ordered and in good shape. Repairman Jack is amazing!

Character-Strong, Supernatural Weak
Rating (4)

Wilson's 9th entry in the Repairman Jack series veers off a little from its predecessors in that the focus is on Jack's relationships with his brother, colleagues, and friends instead of on his battle with the Otherness. Usually it's the other way around.
There are elements of the supernatural present in the book, but the Otherness is not as omnipresent as it has been. There are also fewer details of Jack 'fixes.' What holds the story together is the character of Jack, and Wilson has done a good job writing about him here.
I recommend this book, but also acknowledge that it isn't as exciting as the other books in the series.
