Near Dark is a mystery novel in The Scot Harvath Series by author Brad Thor.
Scot Harvath returns in the latest thriller from the New York Times bestselling author.

The world’s largest bounty has just been awarded to a top US spy. His only hope of survival is to outwit, outwit, and outlast his enemies long enough to find out the truth.

Scot Harvath’s completion of a quest that has claimed the lives of those closest to him, including his new wife – he’ll need help with – is plenty.

Not knowing who she trusts, Harvath finds an unlikely ally in Norwegian intelligence agent Sølvi Kolstad. Smart, dangerous, and determined, she’s not only skilled but also has a broken, heartbreaking past to match Harvath.

Scott Harvath is at his nadir in the opening pages of “Near Dark” and he hangs out there, drowning in guilt and self-loathing as he tries to drink himself into oblivion. Unfortunately this blue funk continues for twenty two chapters, mostly recounting events from “Backlash” the previous book. For a while I wondered why author Thor would switch genres from thriller to noir this far into the Harvath series. Thankfully our protagonist pulled himself together and set about finding out who put a hundred million dollar bounty on his head. And why.

Once the action finally begins I settle in for the kind of fast-paced action and espionage that keeps me reading. However the action is sluggish, as if it too, feels the effects of Harvath’s numerous recent hangovers. The technical aspects in this narrative are intriguing and the sometimes “fly by the seat of your pants” tactical operations are actually carefully plotted and researched for plausibility. In this episode Harvath finds himself in the unenviable position of being both “the hunted” and “the hunter”.
