About this title

Review:

"Wilson strolls in X-Files territory and makes it his own, keeping the action brisk and the level of suspense steadily rising."--"San Francisco Chronicle""Repairman Jack is a wonderful character, ultracompetent but still vulnerable. While there's plenty of violence in "Conspiracies", there's also a lot of humor."--"San Francisco Chronicle""Repairman Jack is one of the most original and intriguing characters to arise out of contemporary fiction in ages....Hugely entertaining."--Dean Koontz
