The search for Joseph Tully: A novel

I love this book! I had it years ago, but it was "borrowed", and never returned. I couldn't wait to read it as soon as it arrived, and was not disappointed. It was as great as I remembered it!

I picked this book without no knowledge of what it may bring, from the IIMA library in 1981. Term papers and assignments be damned, I could not put it down. I read it again the next year with similar effect. I am not sure what it is that rivets you - the writing is economical and powerful and since the theme stretches across time, Hallahan introduces a sense of poignancy in the inevitability of the climax that follows. I am unable to lay my hands on a copy of the book but I would rate it as the most memorable thriller I have read in the last 25 years or so. Do not miss it if you can get hold of a copy.

This is one of the best thriller books of the 70's, from the most horrifying beginning ever written to the most memorable gripping super shocking ending ever, this fascinatingly bleak creepy story will keep you on the edge of your seat. Mr. Hallahan is a brilliant writer who easily eclipses 95% of the big name hack writers who clog up the publishing market. If you're looking for a book that ranks up there with The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby, The Other or The Shining for scares and suspense then this is the book! Believe me.

The best thriller I have ever read! It makes you shiver and tremble.
