Headcase

Timothy Blake, Book 4

By: Jack Heath

Narrated by: Christopher Ragland

A Chinese astronaut is found dead in a NASA training environment in Houston, Texas. No one can explain how he got there. Amid fears of a diplomatic catastrophe, the CIA dispatches Timothy 'Hangman' Blake to investigate a convicted kidnapper who works in the facility – someone Blake put away seven years ago.

Blake is deeply insane, afflicted by terrible urges he can barely control – but he's also brilliant. Zara, his beautiful and deadly CIA handler, suspects a secret Chinese spacecraft is surveilling the United States, but Blake can see something much more sinister is going on. Something connected to the kidnapping seven years ago, to the technologies being developed at NASA and to the serial killer known as the Texas Reaper.

Will Blake survive long enough to uncover the truth? And if he does, will anyone even believe him?

Critic reviews

"Dark, wild, and most importantly, fun." (Shelley Burr, bestselling author of Wake)

"An irresistible mystery, an insatiable antihero and shock twists galore." (Gabriel Bergmoser, bestselling author of The Hitchhiker)

"The crimes are brilliantly twisted and surprising... Heath has woven some real magic into these darkly comedic thrillers." (Shane W. Smith, creator of Undad)

A convoluted plot, keeping me quessing.

Hopeful. Can people really change? Can't wait for the next chapter.
Timothy is a really damaged dark protagonist, who just keeps going. Could he really be the energizer bunny in disguise?

Ingenious

Love this series, sad it seems like this is the last one! Hopefully getting another great one from Heath?

Love this series.

While I read the first three books physically (excuse me Audible, where is Hideout?!), I listened to book 4 after a friend recommended the experience. While I enjoyed the story of the first three more than this last one, the narration was still on point. Highly recommend and encourage Audible to get book 3 to complete the experience.

This is an exciting, and fun series.

Exciting and captivating series to read/listen to. Funny and gritty at the same time!

Timothy Blake's next adventure

I enjoyed Hangman, Just One Bite and now Headcase. I would rate them in that order too. They are all a pleasure to listen too, but the first was the best for sure. I enjoy Timothy Blake as our anti- hero and was very happy to see this book had come out. Our hero gets himself in some fine messes in this one and it's a bit crazy, but good. I really enjoy Christopher Ragland as the narrator and I think he makes Timothy come alive and gives him his personality.
