The third book in the A. J. Docker And Banshee thriller series is an action-packed medical thriller set in Las Vegas. With well-researched details, it delivers a realistic and entertaining story about a bomb threat in one of the biggest tourist areas in the U. S. Great descriptions of the Strip, downtown Vegas, and its casinos and hotels add to the appeal of the book.

Along with the dark topic and exacting descriptions of the fallout resulting from this criminal activity, the book offers readers a touch of humor and heart-warming interactions between characters. Alternating back and forth are hospital scenes with banter amongst the medical personnel, gruesome bomb explosions, the domestic life of Doc and his reporter girlfriend Lana, the killer’s actions, a Prince’s privileged lifestyle, and the police investigation. Suspense builds with each chapter as the connections between events and people are revealed.

Author Gerlacher keeps things interesting with various points of view and able characters. Partnerships in the medical field, law enforcement, and personal friendships were well developed. I appreciated the lighter tone depicted in scenes with Rick and Mac working alongside Doc, as well as the loving relationship between Doc and Lana as they work together to stop the bomber. Rick is a warm, caring counterpart to the psychopath with a selfish agenda. Lana is a strong woman, stopping at nothing to find a ruthless killer. Doc puts others ahead of himself both with his medical training and his foiling of the bomber’s plans. And of course, Banshee is the real hero of the story!

The accuracy of medical details and credible bomb threats mixed with genuine characters guarantees an unputdownable read. Buckle in and get ready for a fast-paced ride! Daniel BurkeAuthor 3 books43

I had the good fortune of reading an advanced copy of this book. I hadn’t read the first or second books in the series before I read this one. It didn’t matter. No background reading required. This story stands on its own, and it is phenomenal. The lead protagonist, AJ Docker, is a terrific character. He is an adventurous, knowledgeable, and eminently able person who happens to be a Las Vegas emergency room physician who has a knack for private investigation and kicking ass. He’s also the owner of a super intelligent former police dog named Banshee. Along with AJ’s girlfriend, a sexy, tough-as-nails investigative reporter named Lana, AJ and Banshee must track down and stop a bomber who has chosen Formula One race week to cause multiple mass casualty events in Las Vegas. The bomber’s vile motives seem clear until they’re not.
The hero in this story, AJ Docker–Doc for short, is an MD, but this is not a medical thriller. This is a straight-up, action packed, private sleuth, police procedural, suspense thriller, expertly told by a practicing physician who apparently also possesses a deep understanding of law enforcement tactics and procedures. It all just feels very real.
Entertaining and shocking, you’ll be surprised where this one takes you.

From the very first exchange about fiddle playing I was in - albeit because I grew up on the tunes of Doug Kershaw the legend - but Gerlacher engages his reader partners in the Sin City dance immediately and with a secure arm around your mind - he spins you thru a tale of deception, rich characters, dastardly deeds - my personal favs a toss up between Jen Schumer and Banshee - or maybe Lana who gets a foot massage when she needs it - but then again Rick’s new backflip is nothing to sneeze about - okay- okay - but you gotta love a guy who works Instagram posts into the plot :) Lots of great characters you won’t want to miss- especially - Banshee the world’s smartest and kindest dog - who it turns out can stand on his back legs with his front paws in the air - hands up? get it?!! So get it - especially if you want a great read and best of all - keeps you guessing to the very last - well almost last page. :) – Kay Smith-Blum, Author, Debut novel "Tangles," coming November 2024pageturner Cam TorrensAuthor 3 books63

An ER doc, a reporter, and a retired police dog walk into a casino…sounds the start of a bad dad joke. Trust me—this bad-a#$ trio isn’t kidding around.

Evil lurks in Las Vegas and the police can’t figure out who is threatening the city during one of its largest events. From the heights of the Hoover Dam to the vaults of the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, the only ones making progress on this case are definitely no joke. AJ “Doc” Docker, his dog Banshee, and the intrepid reporter Lana team up in an attempt to save “the 24-hour city” and see justice done.

In this gripping third novel of the AJ Docker & Banshee thriller series, Gary Gerlacher once again proves he’s got the gift—an ability to create characters readers care for and plots so fast-paced you might need your heartrate checked by “Doc” in the ER.adult brw fiction ...more DL Heim17 5

Sin City Treachery is exactly what you want in suspense action fiction – fast pace, compelling characters, and a logical plot with enough surprises to keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page. Equal parts medical thriller and police procedural, author Gary Gerlacher deftly shifts the narrative between the main character physician AJ Docker and the events swirling around him. As a nurse, I especially appreciated the author’s ability to describe complex medical procedures clearly without oversimplifying them. Although this is the third in a series, it did not feel I was jumping into the middle of a story. I’m planning to adding Gerlacher’s other novels to my beach reading list. Well done!medical-drama murder thriller Barbara29

Love this series! Crisp writing and great plots!

The Doc Docker and Banshee his trusty canine super hero buddy series is just so darned fun to read. chips, you just can't stop.

This latest adventure set in Sin City is a doozy. Billionaire gamblers, mysterious bombers, the usual chaos in Doc's ER work place and, oh yes, F1 racing in town just to keep things interesting. Robbery, bombings, assassination attempts, and babies. Just take my word that you will fall in love with this series. Just so much fun! Gail OlmstedAuthor 8 books228

Gary Gerlacher provides a thrilling ride for readers in Sin City Treachery, his crime thriller set in the midst of a Formula One race on the Las Vegas Strip. The story, which speeds along at a pace worthy of high performance race cars, is filled with wonderfully-developed characters (including a retired police canine in a starring role), and displays Gerlacher’s deep knowledge of the treatment of medical trauma in a hospital ER. Buckle up! LenaAuthor 4 books168

I enjoyed book 1 and 2 of the series. Very well crafted, developed and resolved. The main characters: Banshee and AJ (Doc) could not be better. They showed the author took his time thinking about the plot and characters.
I was therefore looking forward to book 3, but I must say, it was a disappointment. If, for whatever reason, the author felt compelled to include a woman as the main character, he should have created a different series. It is sad and disappointing to portray a previously vigorous and proactive Doc when ever there was a crime, to a shallow side kick, more preoccupied with F1 than with crime, and yawning and sleeping when there is a murderer on the loose.
If there is a Book 4 I hope Gary Gerlacher reverses paths and goes back to AJ and Banshee as interesting, wholesome and strong willed as before.
