Title: Prior Bad Acts Pdf A Novel (Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska)
"Hoag's cliffhanger scene endings and jump cuts leave the reader panting and turning the pages as fast as possible."—Boston Globe"Chilling thriller with a romantic chaser."—New York Daily News "The breathtaking plot twists are perfectly paced.... [A] stunning meld of thrilller and police procedural."—Publishers Weekly, starred review Tami Hoag's novels have appeared regularly on national bestseller lists since the publication of her first book in 1988. She lives in Los Angeles.
It was a crime so brutal, it changed the lives of even the most hardened homicide cops. The Haas family murders left a scar on the community nothing can erase, but everyone agrees that convicting the killer, Karl Dahl, is a start. Only Judge Carey Moore seems to be standing in the way. Her ruling that Dahl’s prior criminal record is inadmissible raises a public outcry—and puts the judge in grave danger.
When an unknown assailant attacks Judge Moore in a parking garage, two of Minneapolis’ s top cops are called upon to solve the crime and keep the judge from further harm. Detective Sam Kovac is as hard-boiled as they come, and his wisecracking partner, Nikki Liska, isn’t far behind. Neither one wants to be on this case, but when Karl Dahl escapes from custody, everything changes, and a seemingly straightforward case cartwheels out of control.
The stakes go even higher when the judge is kidnapped—snatched out of her own bed even as the police sit outside, watching her house. Now Kovac and Liska must navigate through a maze of suspects that includes the stepson of a murder victim, a husband with a secret life, and a rogue cop looking for revenge where the justice system failed.
With no time to spare, the detectives are pulled down a strange dark trail of smoke and mirrors, where no one is who they seem and everyone is guilty of Prior Bad Acts.
Tami Hoag Does It Again! Tami Hoag’s books just seem to get better and better. Her characters even seem to get better and better. Prior Bad Acts is no exception. Liska and Kovac are two of my favorite Hoag characters. They are Minneapolis cops.A lady has been brutally murdered. There is immediately a suspect who is no stranger to the law. The dragnet begins. The suspect is brought in but is released during the trial by a compassionate judge. The judge is brutally beaten and her dirtbag husband is suspected of hiring the work done. However, there is still the original suspect on the loose whom the Minneapolis police just can’t seem to locate, let alone apprehend.So, the dirtbag husband is being investigated and the police are looking for the original suspect. Then to add salt to the wound, a policeman goes off the deep end and believes that justice cannot be delivered appropriately anymore. That is, unless he delivers it himself. And he has bones to pick with the judge and the original suspect whom he worked hard to bring in the first time only to have the judge let him out where he could slip free of the net that was being cast over him.So, now, the list of suspects is growing and each are looking more and more desirable for the crimes. Liska and Kovac are in deep in this one. It’s a stress bag and it seems that nothing but dead ends and mistaken suspicions keep arising.This is my favorite Tami Hoag book that I have read to date. I would have no problem recommending this book to a friend who reads. I will be reading more Tami Hoag books. She takes just a little to get into at first, but once you take the hook, look out.CamSizzling Suspense, From Beginning to End Tami Hoag is a master of suspense, coincidence, and deception. And there is plenty of that in this intense thriller. A drifter, Karl Dahl, takes cover in a house during a brutal storm. He discovers a horrific scene, in which a mother is brutally slain, and when he is in the basement, he is touched by a child hanging from the ceiling. He discovers two dead bodies. Later on, he is on trial for their brutal murder, and the prosecutor, Hogan, tries to admit into evidence Dahl's prior acts which include a large assortment of petty crimes and prior convictions. The public defender, Kenny Scott, challenges this in front of the judge, Carey Moore, who rules in favor of the defense that the prior bad acts are inadmissible. This sets off a series of events that includes Judge Moore being attacked in a garage by an unknown assailant, the original investigating detective, Stan Dempsey, turning rogue and eventually plotting his own brand of vigilante justice, and then the peculiar tale of Wayne and Bobby Haas, father and son who choose to continue to live in the house where the brutal murders tok place. Karl Dahl escapes from custody after being beaten up in prison and not being constrained on his way to the hospital, then embarks upon a journey of being a fugitive, complete with incidental crimes, that seemed ripped out of an Alfred Hitchcock tale. The reader will find out that there are a number of characters out to get Judge Moore. And Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska get to do the investigating. As is the case with many of her other books, the reader is taken along the paths of investigation, many of which misled the investigators, but eventually, due to their stubborn diligence, both Kovac and Liska eventually solve the crime. If you are a fan of Tami Hoag, you don't want to miss this one!another suspenseful story I really enjoy this series with Kovac and Liska. There's never a dull moment. The characters are not super heroes, and have their flaws. The crime is never as simple as it might seem, and even if you think you've figured it out you haven't! I hope the series continues.
