The Zack Walker series by Linwood Barclay runs four books from 2004 to 2007. Zack Walker is a nervous suburbanite and science fiction writer whose attempts to keep his family safe keep pulling him into exactly the kind of trouble he is trying to avoid.

The books are Barclay’s most comedic work, written during his years as a humor columnist at the Toronto Star. The “Bad” titles (Bad Move, Bad Guys, Bad Luck, Bad News) set the tone: things go wrong and then get worse. The series blends laughs with genuine suspense.
