Hollow Man
ByPublisher Description
Fans of YOU on Netlfix will love Mark Pryor's Hollow Man.
“As sharp and slick as a switchblade—both excellent entertainment and an acute psychological portrait. Add Mark Pryor to your must-read list—I have.” —LEE CHILD, #1 New York Times–bestselling author
Dominic is a prosecutor, a musician, and an Englishman living in Texas. He's also a psychopath. His main goal is to hide his condition and lead a seemingly normal life in hopes to pay off his debts and become a full-time musician in Austin's club scene. But on one lousy day his carefully-controlled world starts to shatter: he's demoted at work and accused of stealing a fellow musician's song. He also meets a beautiful woman in a lime green dress--perhaps the biggest threat to his safety of all. At her urging, Dominic hatches a plan to steal a van he knows will be filled with cash. He picks two friends as accomplices, insisting on no guns and no violence. But a security guard catches them in the act and simple theft turns into capital murder. Cracks start to show in the conspiracy and, with no allegiance to anyone but himself, Dominic has to decide whether to stick by his partners in crime, or let his true nature come out to play. From the Trade Paperback edition.

“A fun book that really picks up once the heist part gets set in motion, our protagonist isn’t exactly a teddy bear of a person but he was still compelling to follow. At under 300 the story take a little longer than I’d like to get going but once it’s firing on all cylinders you can’t stop turning the pages.”

“Hollow Man by Mark Pryor was a weird read. Weird, as in, I never really spent time inside the head of a psychopath. Pryor expertly drew us in to the story by creating an empathetic moment for Dominic, a prosecutor and musician, by telling us about his life in Britain, the loss of his parents, and even his openness in telling us that he has sociopathic tendencies.
We as the reader can connect with Dominic a little on certain topics; perhaps because we have been self-centered at a time in our life or even experienced some anti-social moments throughout our lifetimes. However, Pryor shows that Dominic takes this to the extreme. I’m not sure how other readers viewed it, but Dominic was likable to me because he fought this tendency to give in to his rage. He wanted to blend in to the crowd around him, lose himself inside what he should be doing.
This was a psychological thriller at its best. We are submerged deeply into Dominic’s psyche. We understand his motivation, we see the way his mind works, little details sprinkled in to the story that as the reader, we barely take note of until the big reveal at the end.
As I write this review, I learned that there is a second book following this one called, Dominic, and I’ve just ordered that one. I loved Hollow Man; it was a short, quick read, and at the end you learned that it is FULL of sleight of hand, misdirection, and big surprises! Highly recommend.”
