I have been reading some great thrillers so far in 2012.  I really enjoyed this one from Penguin,  Dark Revelations by Anthony E. Zuiker, the conclusion of the Level 26 Trilogy.

I became interested in this trilogy because I love CSI and Anthony E. Zuiker is the creator of the television series.  I was introduced to Steve Dark when I read Dark Origins and thought and still think he is a total bad ass and I was introduced to Sqweegel, who is one of my favorite ‘bad guys’ of all time.  I absolutely loved that book.  I was equally excited when Dark Prophecy came out and then couldn’t wait for Dark Revelations.  Dark is still chasing bad guys and has somewhat figured out how to balance that with being a father because he works from home with state of the art equipment in his basement.   Steve Dark has been asked to join an elite special force that come together to capture Level 26 killers.  This group has been able to capture killers that government agencies and even Special Circs have been unable to solve in the past.  The killer on the loose now is known as “Labyrinth” and he uses riddles, puzzles and wordplay to announce who his next victims will be.  With the use of social media he has created a media sensation and has followers from all around the world.  People are almost seeing him as a modern day Robin Hood because of the political and social messages that are behind his killings. Can Steve Dark and his elite team of crime fighters stay a step ahead of “Labyrinth” and stop him before he kills again?

If you are interested in a really good fast paced thriller then I would recommend this entire trilogy.  What is really cool is that this is a digi-novel.  As you read these books books will you will come across codes to access a cyber bridge that will allow you to watch a mini-movie on your computer to give you a little more of Steve Dark’s story.  I have enjoyed watching those as much as reading the books!
