Head Cases is a procedural series opener featuring an ensemble unit of FBI special agents written by John McMahon. Released 28th Jan 2025 by Macmillan on their Minotaur imprint, it's 352 pages and is available in hardcover, audio, and ebook formats. Paperback due out from the same publisher in 1st quarter 2026. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links throughout.
The interactions among the specialists on the team (mathematician, weapons expert, sniper, computer IT, and the requisite neurodivergent main guy) is engaging and well written; lots of banter and interplay. The author's style is direct and unvarnished, and surprisingly effective.
The second book in the series is due out in 2026. Readers who enjoy psychological/FBI type procedurals will likely enjoy this one.
Four stars. It would be a good choice for public or home library acquisition. Some rough language and graphic content, but nothing egregious for the genre.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
