Madison police officer Ryan O’Reilly just stumbled onto a local heroin distribution ring. Despised by his ‎superiors and mired in a mid-life rut, he decides to investigate the case himself, off the record. As he ‎begins to unravel the source of the network, Ryan must confront the crimes from his past. But when getting ‎closer to the truth in the present means unearthing the secrets from his past, can he get himself out his self-‎imposed prison? Bouncing back and forth between the thirteen, seventeen, and thirty-nine-year-old ‎versions of O’Reilly, readers see that he wasn’t always on the right side of the law…and the wrong side of ‎despair.‎

One Last Improvisation is an engaging new crime thriller that will leave readers clamoring for more. ‎Exploring the complex themes of mistakes, regret, and second chances, the novel presents a realistic crime ‎drama with a surprising depth. Gripping suspense and satisfying drama combine to create a remarkable ‎crime thriller that is sure to leave a mark with readers everywhere.‎

With its taut suspense and engaging storyline, One Last Improvisation by Dan Maguire is a fantastic ‎experience for readers of all backgrounds. Whether readers are just out of college or just into retirement, ‎the novel’s realistic and engrossing story has the amazing ability to span a wide range of demographics ‎while crossing a multitude of genre-specific borders. ‎

Following the arc of Ryan O’Reilly from youthful hope to despair and finally to something resembling ‎wisdom, One Last Improvisation stands out from other novels by cultivating a complete protagonist from ‎beginning to end. From the initial optimism of youth to the weathered knowledge that comes from hard-‎fought experience, the novel does a fantastic job of encapsulating the transformations that life has in store ‎for us all. Wonderfully thorough, grippingly suspenseful, and completely enthralling, this excellent novel is ‎a one-of-a-kind experience that will mesmerize readers even after the final page is turned.‎

L'autore

Dan Maguire spent his formative years in Western New York. As a young adult he resigned himself to the ‎fact he’d need to acquire a skill others found useful. Pursuant to this end he moved to Wisconsin and has ‎lived there since. He’s spent the intervening years improvising his way through a mathematical career while ‎never letting go of his literary aspirations. When he’s not rooting for his beleaguered Bills, Maguire enjoys ‎sitting and pondering the ways he can map an improvisation from start to finish, making him the only ‎possible author contradictory enough to have written his debut novel, One Last Improvisation.‎

A very unique read

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 16 maggio 2013

Acquisto verificato

One Last Improvisation is a fascinating story full of characters both flawed and virtuous enough to feel real. It features an inventive narrative structure that intercuts two distinct time periods and keeps the reader guessing as to how it all comes together. The synthesis of themes in this story is really remarkable -- part coming of age story, part crime novel, tied together by a protagonist who wants to be better than his family legacy suggests is possible. It's also very entertaining on a more immediately visceral level, full darkly humorous turns of phrase, gritty action and big reveals doled out at just the right moments. All in all, One Last Improvisation is a great jam session for anyone who likes writing that's exciting, clever and insightful.

An easy read with uneasy themes

Recensito in Germania il 14 agosto 2014

Acquisto verificato

This is a light read combining a number of uneasy themes.
The story follows our protagonist Ryan in two timeframes: as an awkward somewhat lost schoolboy and as a disillusioned corrupt police officer.
From a dysfunctional family with a terrible secret the deck is stacked against Ryan and he falls into petty drug pushing.
Contrasting this is his discovery of a saxophone, through the playing of which he transcends his everyday worries. He finds high school first love in Denise. But this relationship his hampered by his clandestine drug pushing and necessary lying.
The drugs lead him into unsavoury company even murder. To say more would be too revealing.
I didn’t learn anything new, but the book kept my interest.

Good read!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 8 marzo 2014

Acquisto verificato

The book was well written and edited, and kept me wondering what was coming next. It goes back and forth in time quite a bit, and sometimes you had to read a paragraph to figure out where you were, but I really enjoyed this one.

Impressive First Novel

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 6 luglio 2013

Acquisto verificato

This is a gritty story, and not something I would usually pick up to read as I tend to gravitate to more positive stories. But once I started it, I had to finish it, despite the gut wrenching aspects of it. Which is a testament to the writing.

The story's protagonist is pushing 40 and is in a downward spiral. The action flashes back and forth between the present situation and the protagonist's high school days, which he focuses on as the place where events and choices started the slide. The two time frames are neatly linked up as the story resolves, and the reader and the protagonist both realize that the threads reach back even farther in time and are more involved than we first believe.

I keep calling him the protagonist and not the hero, because he is, for the most part, not likeable. He's crude and he's incredibly self-centered (which is somewhat more foregivable in the HS section of the story.) But he's very believable, and the reader feels for him, even at his lowest moments. There is a redemptive possibility in the conclusion,though it's only partially realized.

It's a very impressive first novel. (And is free of the typos and bad grammar that are the bane of indie publications.)

Coming of age story of crime and redemption

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 17 maggio 2013

Acquisto verificato

This is a gritty, modern novel, part crime thriller and part coming-of-age story, about a boy struggling to overcome his dysfunctional family roots. The narrative shifts back and forth between the teenage Ryan and his middle-aged, burned out self, weaving a layered and fascinating story with plenty of twists and turns, action, and poignant emotion. Along the way it deals with themes of loss and redemption. The book is beautifully written and features complex, real characters.
