Navigation by dead reckoning means calculating your position without landmarks — trusting only what you know, and hoping it's enough. In Dead Reckoning, Roger Simons constructs a gripping crime thriller in which a protagonist is plunged into a world of danger, deception, and moral uncertainty, forced to navigate treacherous waters using nothing but instinct and incomplete information. The narrative unfolds with relentless tension, each chapter tightening the screws as hidden truths surface and the line between hunter and hunted blurs beyond recognition. Simons demonstrates a sharp, economical prose style that owes much to the golden age of British crime writing, delivering atmosphere in measured doses while keeping the plot coiled like a spring. The title itself serves as a thematic compass — characters throughout the novel are making calculated guesses, acting on faith rather than certainty, and paying the price when their reckonings fall short. For readers who relish a thriller that rewards close attention and refuses to offer easy exits, this is one journey whose destination will leave you breathless.
