Nick Crane, Los Angeles PI is back. After hiding out for several months in the desert, he and FBI friend Carrie North decide that it’s time to get back into action against the evil “patriots”, whose leader is the loathsome Marguerite Ferguson.
This fast-moving story unfolds with several of our well-liked characters from the two previous books as well as a refreshing new player: a wealthy, intelligent businesswoman with a humanitarian vision who also happens to be in touch with the group of people known as The Principals.
This was a very enjoyable read, with the lively dialogues throughout, the group of friends who embody honor and courage no matter what, and the very contemporary political themes that are implicit in the plot that twists and turns to a satisfying close.

Giant Steps is a blistering, high-octane finale to Patrick H. Moore’s Nick Crane trilogy, and it absolutely delivers. From the very first page, you’re thrown into Nick Crane’s desperate fight for survival against Marguerite Ferguson and her ruthless Principals, and the tension never lets up.

Nine years after the takedown of Frank Constantine, Crane is hiding out in the Mojave, dodging hit after hit from Marguerite’s vengeful empire. But this time, he and FBI Special Agent Carrie North go on the offensive, determined to bring her down once and for all. What follows is a relentless, tightly plotted sting operation that had me turning the pages late into the night. Every twist felt razor-sharp, every exchange of dialogue crackled with intensity, and the stakes just kept climbing higher.

Nick Crane is one of those rare protagonists who embodies grit, loyalty, and humanity in equal measure. He’s a PI with scars, humor, and just enough cynicism to feel real. His bond with Carrie gives the story its heart, while his team of operatives rounds out a cast that feels both capable and deeply human.

Moore’s prose is quick and cutting, almost cinematic—think Lee Child meets Michael Connelly with a political edge. The Southern California setting feels alive, pulsing with menace and atmosphere, and the action sequences hit like a sledgehammer. What I especially appreciated was how timely the story felt, tackling themes of corruption, abuse of power, and what it means to fight for justice in a broken system.

As the conclusion to the Rogues & Patriots and 27 Days arc, Giant Steps doesn’t just tie up the threads—it explodes them in spectacular fashion. The final showdown between Crane and Marguerite is every bit as brutal and satisfying as fans could hope for.

If you love thrillers with guts, brains, and a fierce sense of justice, this one’s for you. Giant Steps is not just the end of a trilogy—it’s a statement. And it cements Nick Crane as a PI hero you won’t soon forget.

Thank you to the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

We now have the complete Nick Crane trilogy – first 27 Days, then its prequel Rogues and Patriots, and now the sequel Giant Steps (Cicero’s Dead – also a Nick Crane thriller - set the stage for the current trio). Do we have closure? Yes and no.

Giant Steps walks us through Nick Crane’s continued efforts to neutralize the ‘Principals’ – a shadowy far-right organization. He must stay alive while doing so and has help from a formidable collection of FBI, LAPD, veteran, ex-con, and embedded informant colleagues. Like the other Nick Crane books, you will be drawn in from the beginning with the fast action and nuanced plotline.

Like the other books in the trilogy, this is a battle between good and evil and is particularly timely. This story is a bit different from the others, however. While there is plenty of action – there is a more self-reflective tone, as Nick contemplates his various personal relationships. This adds a human dimension. Nick has always been a humanitarian within a world of raw violence – this comes through particularly clearly in this last installment.

Disparate characters – all working for or on the sidelines of the Principals’ agenda - come together in an ill-conceived plot. Through a combination of luck and cunning, Nick and his associates take on this challenge in a remarkably measured fashion, but is it really over?

Holy Moly, Nick Crane rides again, and this time he’s kicking ass and taking names!! Giant Steps is the final installment in the Nick Crane trilogy and it doesn’t disappoint. Giant Steps delves deeper into the sinister mind of Marguerite Ferguson, her minions and the MASA (Make America Safe Again, sound familiar?) movement.

Giant Steps is jam packed with twists, turns and righteous judgments. As usual, Nick Crane doesn’t disappoint. Nick has quick wit, deep loyalties and grit you don’t see very often in life or in character. Patrick Moore has expertly written a thriller series jam packed with adventure, adversaries and asswipes. Giant Steps was a satisfying read from start to finish.

I was honored to be an arc reader from the beginning of Mr. Moore’s writing career and it has been a treat to be a part of his journey. Well done Patrick!

Patrick H. Moore delivers a fast-paced, high-stakes thriller that had me hooked from the first page. Nick Crane is a gritty, believable hero, and the clash with Marguerite Ferguson is both timely and chilling. A must-read for fans of political thrillers.

[Wiliams Jae · Rating 5 out of 5]

As the final book in the Nick Crane trilogy, Giant Steps ties everything together brilliantly. The action is nonstop, the dialogue razor-sharp, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Moore has crafted a finale that’s both satisfying and unforgettable.

[Brian Wright · Rating 5 out of 5]

Giant Steps by Patrick H. Moore is a heavyweight thriller with a big brain and lots of heart and soul. This is the third in a series of books featuring PI Nick Crane, as he battles a shady group of villains who are hell-bent on wreaking havoc on American society. I highly recommend the first two books in the series (27 Days, and Rogues and Patriots), but you don't have to read them first in order to enjoy Giant Steps. It works fine as a standalone novel, and it’s super fun to read.

The book's premise is pure dynamite, and quite realistic. No one in their right mind can call it "far-fetched" in our current context. Moore presents us with an elite cabal of wealthy, far-right political activists called the Principals, who want to use false flag terrororist attacks on American soil as a pretext for toppling democratic institutions and stripping citizens of all civil rights. A fascist takeover, in other words. (Sound familiar?) Nick Crane and his band of allies (FBI agents, a tech entrepreneur, a feisty Vietnam War vet, among others) are trying to stop this nefarious plot. The Principals, led by arch-villain Marguerite Ferguson, want Crane destroyed. Let the games begin.

While the premise of Giant Steps is political, Moore doesn't get bogged down in ideology and politics. He's more interested in telling a ripping good yarn. And boy, does he succeed. Here we have a group of decent, albeit flawed people who find themselves caught up in a desperate fight against a strain of evil that has plagued humanity for eons. This story is a barn-burner. Giant steps, indeed. This is like Godzilla taking a walk around the block. And it’s worth mentioning that “Giant Steps” is also the name of a stellar John Coltrane album. Here, as the story unfolds, Moore does plenty of his own riffing on what it feels these days like to be living in the USA.

In terms of craft, there is much to commend: a compelling protagonist, a diverse and colorful cast of supporting characters, deft handling of plot intricacies, balls-to-the-wall action sequences, scenes of great cruelty as well as great tenderness, with shrewd observations and witty dialogue peppering every page. Moore is at his best when he places Nick Crane and his comrades in seemingly impossible situations--like a high-wire act where you can practically taste the danger--and then showing us how they must fight to survive. Trigger warning: as this story hurtles toward its conclusion, some readers may need to check their heart rate and adjust medication accordingly.

With a book like this, which concludes a trilogy, one might wonder whether the whole saga will end in a satisfactory way. In Giant Steps, Moore sticks the landing. In fact, the ending of the novel is my favorite part of the entire series, because it feels so appropriate and so meaningful and real.

But I'm not going to spoil the ending. You need to read it yourself. You’ll see what I mean.

On the up side, PI Nick Crane is back, last seen in 29 Days.

The bad news? So is Marguerite Ferguson, ringleader of the Principals, and visionary of the MASA movement of alt-right extremists. Make America Safe Again. Which means when the smoke settles and the fog clears, it always, always—always x 1,000,000—comes down to a double-fisted grab for money and power. Time after time. Geological era after geo-illogical era.

Though Marguerite is back, she’s mostly lurking behind the curtains while her foot soldiers take center stage. Giant Steps, like its prequel, features a large cast of characters, enough to fill an arena at a MASA rally.

These days, Nick Crane is lying low in a mobile home on the edge of the Mojave Desert, the ultimate low-rent district in Los Angeles. Nick had to decamp from his house (think FUBAR), which had been renovated by ill-tempered visitors with heavy artillery. On the upside, he’s teamed up again with his FBI friend, Carrie North. They’re joined by a colorful crew with various backgrounds. Their mission? To devise a sting operation of undercover agents and sleeper-cell informants to once-and-for-all pop Marguerite’s mojo on the masses.

To borrow a pause-and-catch-my-breath line from the novel, Nick & Company take aim at MASA like “a heat-seeking knee to the nuts.”

Giant Steps is a nonstop parade of patsies, fibbies and informants. Plus…corrupt cops, high-capacity magazines and AR-15s. And high-capacity schemes to perform treasonous acts against the United States to build private prisons and cash in. Line thy pockets, patriots.

The novel deftly mirrors our shaky political and antisocial climate. And these days, merely by bending logic, our warped world suggests a funhouse mirror maze, replete with exaggerated reflections due to its curved agendas.

So, what would you wear inside a funhouse? Perhaps a hat. Perhaps a MASA hat. No, wait. How about a big, red FUBAR hat.

Giant Steps is a nonstop thrill ride with punchy prose. Windows down, radio up, foot on the gas, bugs on the glass. But the highway, that’s the kicker. The landscape whizzing by at sunset is increasingly familiar, and unsettling. And soon it will be dark.

Nick Crane has a mission, a mental map, and knows where he’s headed. Sad to say, I’m just not sure if the rest of us can say the same.

Fantastic! Beautifully done! What a great ride and what a well thought out beautiful ending to the Nick Crane trilogy. Patrick H. Moore’s writing is taut grit noir that matches or surpasses anything I've seen from any of the top mystery and suspense writers. The characters are vivid and authentic. Marguerite Ferguson and her ultra-right-wing cabal organization MASA (Make America Safe Again) are real top of the line villains who want to turn the US into an authoritarian police state. The criminals and dirty cops read like they’ve slunk right out of the darkened alleys and streets of LA into your living room, and Moore’s prophetic novels look like they’ve stepped right out of this morning’s newspaper headlines.

After having gone up against the violent MASA ‘super-patriots’ for 9 years and suffered great physical and emotional injuries, Nick is biding his time keeping a very low profile in his little Mojave Desert hideaway to avoid the brutal killers that are still after him with a vengeance for terminating Marguerite Ferguson’s friend and ally, military shrink Frank Constantine. The odds of Nick succeeding against such powerful forces seems impossible, but Nick has friends. Good, true and brave friends that he has made over his many years as a PI and who will stand with him to the end. Bobby Moore his PI partner whom he saved from the horrors of being held, tortured and brainwashed by MASA in a private prison. FBI Special Agent Carrie North who was almost killed by MASA in their previous encounter. And many others, including a new friend rich visionary Allegra Genelese whose company is busy mapping the human brain with an aim to provide humans with brain implant technology.

Infiltrating and manipulating an organization like MASA will not be easy but like I said, Nick has friends, and Nick and his friends have a plan. Don’t miss reading this thrilling ending to the Nick Crane trilogy!

[G.A. Rivers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Giant Steps is the closing chapter to Patrick Moore’s Nick Crane trilogy—and what a banger of a story and conclusion it is. And if you’re new to Nick Crane, don’t let it get in your way. Giant Steps is a kick ass novel that that reads like a top notch stand-alone as Crane, an intriguing and lively character, puts it all on the line to bring down the demented Marguerite Ferguson and her dangerous cronies, ignoring the risk to his own life and well-being.

Nick Crane is a Los Angeles PI but this is much more than a PI novel. Does Crane investigate crimes? He sure does. Are there side stories that show Crane at his best (and worst)? Also yes. But Giant Steps is a thriller and a story of determination and loyalty and fighting the fight that must be won, even when your back is against the wall. Crane is a complex and at times dry-witted man who’s moral compass allows for plenty of gray but always does what is right when it matters most. Many of Crane’s friends are rough around the edges, criminal even, but their fierce loyalty and commitment to the greater good is the beating heart of the story.

Moore does an excellent job of weaving in backstory in a way that keeps the reader engaged and the characters moving forward. The prose is tight and terse where it matters most. Descriptions are vivid and, at times, delightful.

Giant Steps is one long slow burn and it simmers from the opening page. Moore keeps the simmer going, raising the tension as the pages fly by; he always takes the time to let his characters come to life. As Nick Crane and crew put their final plan in motion the stakes could not be higher. Complications arise, but you never see them coming and the ending is as explosive as it is satisfying.

4.5/5 STARS rounded up!

[Lorraine Evanoff · Rating 5 out of 5]

This third and final book of the Nick Crane Thriller series is a masterclass in suspense. The first-person narrative made it feel like I was living the experience in real time, never knowing what to expect. The pace, a steady meditation in good vs evil, explores how people can lose their humanity.

Author Patrick H. Moore is a wonderfully vivid action writer, effortlessly detailing the gritty chaos and confusion caused by unhinged individuals hellbent on wreaking havoc and mass death. Moore also provides succinct historical context as well as spy craft and criminal law expertise, while underscoring how vulnerable we are to the unthinkable. Something that needs to be addressed now more than ever.

The returning characters P.I. Nick Crane, Jimmy Sain, Carey North, and super villain Maguerite Ferguson, are as vivid and fascinating as ever. And the new characters present next-level heroics and terrifying thrills. It’s worth mentioning Crane’s constant companion, the ghost of Frenchy LeFevre, is my favorite posthumously honored character of all time.

This final book clears up all the mysteries and unanswered questions in the series. It's quite a wild and satisfying finish!

Full moons from hell, floating in a sea of hatred"...

In this final installment of the Nick Crane series, Patrick H. Moore pulls out all the stops! Nick Crane is in hiding, as Marguerite Ferguson, the leader of the extreme right-wing group MASSA, attempts to erase him once and for all. Crooked cops and double-crossers are also in the mix. Nick Crane must pull together his crew one final time to stop a massacre and strike a fatal blow to Marguerite Ferguson's twisted plans to Make America Safe Again!

Patrick Moore has, once again, crafted a tightly wound story that features well-defined characters who add the color and grit that bring each chapter to life. The result is the relentless pace of a ticking time bomb.

This P.I. Novel Kept Me Highly Entertained from the Very First Page to the Epic Triumphant Finale!

Giant Steps, the exhilarating conclusion to Patrick H. Moore's trilogy, is a superb work of private investigative fiction starring his hero, Nick Crane. Crane faces off against the alt-right terrorist group The Principals, a chilling adversary led by Marguerite Ferguson and her MASA movement. Moore's latest thriller kept me on the edge of my seat from the first page to the last—so much so that I found myself staying up late over three nights just to reach the novel’s electrifying climax. The characters are vivid and complex, the plot is full of unexpected twists, and Moore crafts a timely, thought-provoking narrative that resonates with the current political and cultural climate in the United States. I highly recommend this riveting novel—so much so that I already want to reread it, even if it means burning the midnight oil again.

[Jefferson Thomas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Giant Steps is the last and best of Patrick Moore's Crane trilogy, and we all should hope that Crane comes back to life in a new book soon.

A problem inherent in the last book of a trilogy is how much of the action in the earlier books needs to be repeated in the last book to make the last book the culmination of the story. Moore handles this deftly, weaving in just enough information to make Giant Steps understandable as the end of the saga, without weighing its fast paced narrative down with too many references to the past.

I won't describe the plot since you should have the same experience I did. This is a two sitting book that is impossible to set down. The writing is taut and focused. Even the obligatory digressions and romantic interludes seem natural and unforced. In all, a masterful job, and one of the few times that the last book of a series is also the best.

One Wolf Must Die
Just finished GIANT STEPS . Two wolves good and evil , stare at each other on a frozen tundra . It's Nick Crane vs Satanic fascists whose unseen power works to realize uber alles . Lots of unexpected twists and realistic inner dialogues. A virtual catalogue of bad guy behaviors written by someone who as a long time sentencing investigator has seen them all. All three of the books in this Nick Crane trilogy (GIANT STEPS being the last) come as close as you'll ever get to what raw uncut reality sounds like . No dumbed down statistical AI here.
Dark as the world on man crime thriller with great cosmic political overtones . In the tradition of Sinclair Lewis's It Can't Happen Here , and the Iron Heal by Jack London . One wolf must die. Read this book to see if it's the good wolf or the bad wolf.

I had been eagerly waiting for this final installment of the Nick Crane trilogy and it did not disappoint. After years of persecution by the ruthless Marguerite Ferguson, Nick Crane has had enough as he and his associates plot to take the fight straight to the heart of Ferguson’s sinister cabal. The plot is gripping, but what makes this book shine is the host of colorful characters, both old favorites from the earlier books and new allies and villains. Moore has a gift for writing eccentric and lovable characters and his writing really sparkles here. I loved the first two installments of this series, but Giant Steps just may be my favorite.

Giant Steps is the third book in this series of Nick Crane thrillers, by Patrick H. Moore.

Once again private eye Nick Crane is hiding from a criminal group of wealthy right-wing aristocrats, the principals, who believe that they are super patriots trying to save democracy in America, at any cost, using any means, and Nick is high on the list of their targets.

Can Nick end this threat of terrorism without a violent confrontation and loss of life?

You will be on pins and needles up to the last moment to see how this compelling story ends.

Patrick Moore's Giant Steps affectionately conjures the argot, denizens and terrain of SoCal, as PI Nick Crane and his righteous allies hustle to stay alive in their quest to bring justice to the bent leaders of a growing and well funded sect of white power patriots-gone-wrong. Moore's professional familiarity with all facets of the criminal justice system, including much of the twisted aspects, evokes a convincing and compelling finale to his trilogy. This is one of those rough and tumble reads that you wish would never end, except to allow you to catch your breath.

[Andrea Dunne · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book Giant Steps, by Patrick H. Moore, ties up Nick Crane's conflict with his nemesis Marguerite Ferguson. It has been a long time coming which makes the ending that much ore satisfying. The process is by no means easy or clear with plenty of unexpected disruptions along the way.

The characters are probably my favorite part of this series. They are well written - some I liked, some I disliked and some I wanted to dislike but in the end, I still found likable.

I was engrossed in all three books and hope this author will write more soon.

This was a strong third entry in the Nick Crane Thriller series, it had that element that I enjoyed from the previous two books. The characters had that feel that I was looking for and enjoyed the detective setting going on. The plot was everything that I was looking for and worked with the thriller element to this. I was engaged and invested in what was going on. Patrick H. Moore has a strong writing style and I hope to read more from this series and author.

Giant Steps throws you straight into Nick Crane’s last stand, and let me tell you, it’s non-stop chaos, clever stings, and “holy crap, did that just happen?!” moments.

Giant Steps is a fast-paced and gripping conclusion to the Nick Crane trilogy, where loyalty, danger, and justice collide in high-stakes fashion. Watching Nick and his team take on Marguerite Ferguson and her cabal kept me hooked from beginning to end—the tension never lets up, and the dialogue is as sharp as the action. I really enjoyed reading it because it gave me that satisfying mix of suspense and heart, while also wrapping up the series in a way that felt both intense and meaningful.

Definitely hits close to home with everything going on right now. It felt more like living in real time instead of reading a book. With not having read the first two, there were a few things that would have helped if I had, but overall, you can still read it and keep up pretty well. It's a pretty good story. Nick is an interesting character. I really enjoyed Bobby & Jimmy's characters as well. Just something about them.

I've been waiting for this one! Moore perfectly ties up all the loose ends in his final installment in the action packed Nick Crane series. If you like crime, archetypal characters, and non-stop action, this series is for you!
