My brother & I are always joking about this expression. It's a great expression to fill in blank thoughts: "and what-nots" You can almost hear the sighs with the alliterative h's: "heavy heat" It's getting closer to a conclusion. Moving on

You stopped this chapter just at the right moment to now learn whether or not he will be captured. Dutton believes he is about to capture his prey. We will see whether or not he will succeed.

This is a nail biting chapter, Brett. Reading it first thing in the morning has y adrenaline flowing! I was hoping this was it, Adler would be captured, but I guess we have to wait.

One suggestion. This sentence is a little awkward to read. "Could the series of tragedies that befell him before he became the beast he now is be the secret to Adler's code?" I think putting commas after tragedies and after now, and putting "is" before "now, would help.

This is a well written chapter. At first when you told the reader Dutton's emotional state, I was a little leery, but as the chapter progressed you slowly showed more and more of Dutton's rising and building emotions through his actions, that added to the feeling and tone of the chase scene.

Good work.

I always wonder whenever someone that seems like a very nice person knows every thought and feeling of a psychopath. LOL. Thanks for sharing another fine chapter. You're in my thoughts and prayers and I'm wishing you the best tomorrow! Hope tomorrow puts this behind you! Ric

I am worried about Dutton. He needs to get his head back in the game, although I completely understand why he's angered. This is good writing.

I hope you're doing okay and I will continue my prayers.

"That's why his ferocious, and bloodthirsty, murders have continued," Ballister responded. (positive you don't need the second comma and pretty sure you don't need the first.)

He grabbed his weapon from the rack it hung on, "Let's roll." (period after 'on')

He is turned towards Bogart Boulevard. (omit 'is')

This tone Dutton catches up with Adler, but what will be the outcome? Will he apprehend, and did he have a genuine plan to capture him? Or was this just as slippery as any other? Beautifully written Brett, blessings Roy
Typo : Unsatisfied, heavy hea(r)t. 2: Nor (hsd) Adler sent. Had? 3: the squirrel goes dow(n) now.
