Product Description
Winter Massey is a former U.S. marshal who has made too many enemies on both sides of the law. Lucy Dockery is a judge’s daughter who’s never had to fight for anything in her life. But now Lucy and her young son have been kidnapped and sentenced to die–unless her father agrees to set a vicious criminal free.
Winter Massey is the closest thing to salvation they have, but he doesn’t know that the beautiful FBI agent who brought him into the case may be playing a chilling double game–and that a circle of treachery has begun to tighten around him. For Lucy, the time has come to scratch and claw for survival. For Massey, it’s time to stop trusting the people he trusts most. Because in a storm of betrayal, there’s only one way out.

More twists and turns than a mountain road!!!, Sep 12 2005
By Vicki Lane - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Side by Side (Mass Market Paperback)
John Ramsey Miller's SIDE BY SIDE, the third novel in a one-two-three punch of Winter Massey thrillers released this year, maintains the breakneck pace, vivid characterizations, and intricate plotting that I have come to expect from this gifted writer.
Once again, Winter Massey's special skills are needed. A judge's daughter and her infant son are being held hostage to insure that the judge's decision in an upcoming case is favorable to a cold-blooded killer. The woman must be rescued immediately in an operation so covert that no federal agencies can be involved. Winter,somewhat reluctantly, enters the fray as a favor to an old (and beautiful)friend. The delicate relationship that exists between Massey and Alexa, the 'off-the books' FBI agent who seeks his help, is beautifully portrayed, as is the character of Lucy, the kidnap victim -- hapless, but far from helpless. And then there's the Smoot family -- Peanut, Buck, Dixie, Curt and Burt (the twins) and Ferny Ernest -- a colorful and depraved clan of psychotics who give family values a whole new meaning.
As in his previous work, Miller hurls the reader along at top speed, careening through more twists and turns than a mountain road, to a stunning conclusion that satisfies while hinting at more to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars
fantastic action thriller, Aug 30 2005
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Side by Side (Mass Market Paperback)
Winter Massey used to be a U.S. Marshall until he killed a person and didn't feel a shred of remorse. He knew it was time to get out and is now making a new and happier life with his wife Sean and their infant daughter Olivia. When his old friend Special Agent Alexa Keen tracks him down to help her in a case that she is pursuing without the help of the FBI. Winter is reluctant to assist her until she explains that a woman and her infant son were kidnapped; he agrees to lend a hand.
The kidnapped woman is the daughter of Judge Hailey Fondren, the judge presiding over the case of Ex-Army Colonel Hunter Bryce charged with killing an ATF agent who found the weapons that the accused was planning to sell to the Soviet Mafia. Bryce's criminal allies are using the hostages to extort the judge to pronounce the colonel not guilty. If he fails to free Bryce they will kill his daughter and grandson. Winter searches for the victims but after nearly being blindsided several times, he has to wonder if Alexa is working for the enemy.
SIDE BY SIDE is a fantastic action thriller that starts of at light speed and just keeps accelerating until the shocking and exciting finale. Readers won't know who the real villains are until the author chooses to reveal their allegiances. The characters are well drawn and three dimensional especially the hero so that readers feel they know him and his motivations. John Ramsey Miller writes a strong crime thriller with espionage and military overtones filled with plenty of guts and heart.

First time reader - brand new fan., Sep 23 2005
By Tiffany P. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Side by Side (Mass Market Paperback)
I learned about John Ramsey Miller after reading his quote in a novel by Matthew Farrell called Winter Hill. I read Inside Out and was hooked. I have since completed the entire series and each one has been better than the last. Fantastic books!
