Synopsis

Kate McGraw, the lone female on the US Marshals’ fugitive task force, is on the trail of homicidal bank robber
when she is shot by a drugged-up ex-con. While she is in the hospital recuperating, a mysterious stranger leaves a
bouquet of flowers in her room. Days later Kate is discharged. Still recuperating, she sees a man in a car parked on
the street watching her apartment. This is the third time she has seen him. Kate gets the license number, follows and
confronts him, and discovers he’s her estranged father, Frank Galvin, who disappeared when she was six. Frank tells
her he’s been in prison for the last eighteen years, arrested for armed robbery. Indignant, Kate asks him what he wants.
He tells her he can help her catch the bank robber.

As Kate and Frank try to rekindle their relationship, Frank helps Kate and her team zero in on Ray Skinner, the
dangerous sociopath who has now robbed seven banks and murdered two people. Feeling the heat of law enforcement
breathing down his neck, Skinner discovers the identities of the US Marshals who are pursuing him and goes after
Kate. He wants to find out what they know about him. Filled with real-life characters and pitch-perfect dialogue, Sweet
Dreams will have you on the edge of your seat until the climatic final scene

Goodreads review by Robert

On some level, this book has everything one could want from a crime thriller. Bank heists, fugitives, murders, a game of wits between a criminal and law enforcement. Unfortunately, though all of the elements are there, they never seem to fully come together. On the positive side, the book does have s......more

Goodreads review by Sarah

It all worked and it all was written in a sound manner (meaning, the guy knows the language). He needs the kind of editor who can rip out a scene or more without damaging the structure - because there was too much plot, without reward. And......more
