Publisher Description
From the bestselling author of All For One, Top Ten, and Simple Simon...
"I learned long ago what a partner is. He's the guy behind you with a gun."
Detectives Jack James and Danny Owen are on the trail of a killer. But not just any murderer. A cold and calculating executioner accomplishing what police and the courts could not: bring vengeance upon those who beat the system and escaped punishment for heinous crimes. Crimes that seem echoed in the retribution the avenging angel is meting out in some real world expression of 'an eye for an eye'.
But as the partners identify and close in on a suspect, the bounds of right and wrong, justice and vengeance, begin to blur. So much so that one detective begins to doubt just who is adversary, and who is ally.
Customer Reviews
Phenomenal Thriller
This is an incredible tale of loyalty and trust, murder and mystery. What with the dark style and beautifully written prose, not to mention the themes of coldness/hardness and betrayal, it reminded me of a classic gothic novel.
From the very first murder scene, I had a feeling I knew where the story would end up--but I was wrong. And then around half the book I was sure I knew where it was headed--only to be surprised again. There's nothing simple about this story, it has engaging characters with a plot that draws you in.
Danny is not your average protagonists. The first scene he was in made me sure I wasn't going to like him--but as more layers are revealed to his character the more I realized what a complex, flawed, and also inexplicably heroic soul he had.
I really can't wait to see where this series goes. I wish the next book in the series came out tomorrow!
