The Doomsday Girl

di Dave Stanton (Autore)

Vinci Books, 2026

Melanie Jordan’s life seemed perfect. Until masked intruders arrive at her house, demanding gold she doesn’t have. A savage blow to the head puts her in a coma for four weeks. When Melanie regains consciousness, she learns her husband has been murdered and her ten-year-old daughter is missing. Private Eye Dan Reno begins investigating, but nothing about the case makes sense. Was there gold at the house or wasn’t there? Was Melanie’s husband hiding something? And what happened to Melanie’s daughter? To complicate things, the case leads to Las Vegas, where Reno’s loose-cannon buddy, Cody Gibbons, is trying to repair his relationship with his college-aged daughter, an intern with Las Vegas P.D. When clues implicate Russian mobsters and a mysterious African illegal, Reno tries to stay in the shadows, but once the crooks feel the noose tightening, they raise the stakes to a deadly level. And then, as they say in Vegas, all bets are off. The Doomsday Girl is a gritty, adrenaline-fueled ride from start to finish, packed with vividly portrayed characters. Brilliantly written, it will keep you turning the pages late into the night. Perfect for fans of Lee Child, Michael Connelly, James Patterson, David Baldacci, and Robert Crais. What Readers say about The Doomsday Girl (from verified Amazon reviews): ★★★★★ “His best yet. If you like James Lee Burke, you will really like Dan Reno.” ★★★★★ “Dave Stanton is a great writer, and I will more than likely purchase any book he writes.” ★★★★★ “Stanton's best so far. He just keeps getting better.” ★★★★★ “I can't get enough of this series. The characters are easy to wrap up in and the writing is spirited and humorous.” ★★★★★ “Up all night. Took me two nights to read it. Staying up till the wee hours of the morning reminded me of being a kid again, and reading by flashing under the covers.” ★★★★★ “Why 5 stars? The characters who drive the plot have depth, reality, humor, and flaws. The author "lets" each character compliment the others. Dave Stanton's writing style reminds me of Elmore Leonard.” ★★★★★ “Awesome read! Great story, lots of twists and turns! Really enjoyed how the story unfolded, developed, and concluded.” ★★★★★ “Great hard-boiled detective novel. Dave Stanton is the best in the business. He should receive more acclaim for his work.” ★★★★★ “Thrilling series! This entire series is thoroughly addicting! Great characters, tons of action and mystery.

I binged the Dan Reno series! Authentic writing and relevant to today's world not to mention wildly entertaining!!! Wow!!” ★★★★★ “A Great Read. I was able to complete this book in one setting, and that was good because I could not have paused for anything. The writing just flows and keeps the images alive in the reader's mind.” ★★★★★ “I was kept in suspense, wondering how all of it would be resolved, and I love that. This book wasn't the typical, predictable scenario. I love the character development.” ★★★★★ “Stanton just keeps getting better! I read this one in less than 10 hours, nearly record time for me. His story had a lot of depth, great character development, and a plot that held my attention from beginning to the very end.” ★★★★★ “Many layers, great characters and a brilliant plot are all worth the price of admission. Dave Stanton has a real winner here....again!”
