While the police search for the killer, McCrary sets out to do what only he can do…enact frontier justice against the murderer who tortured and killed his friend.
Facing Chinese PLA soldiers and the Russian American Mafia, McCrary races to expose an international conspiracy and avenge his friend’s death before his own body washes ashore.

Vigilantism not for me
When a mutilated body washes ashore at an isolated beach two honeymooners get a most unwelcome surprise. Unfortunately for Chuck McCrary PI the body belongs to one of his former Special Forces teammates. His new mission becomes to find out who committed this terrible crime and to punish them. Another former tea is caught up in this mystery in an as yet undiscovered way. Complicating everything further are Feds popping up unexpectedly and foreign governments and former foreign officials turned bad guys. Chuck’s personal brand of justice is in play when he goes on the hunt for the perpetrators.
I’ve read a few of these stories and while they all hardcore thrillers, this story seems to have a darker tone than previous ones. Also there seems to be a pattern crime happens, Chuck called in to assist and case takes a turn where he needs to take justice into his own hands. I find it mind boggling that we’re in book nine and he’s not been charged yet. No one is that good. I also find it unbelievable that he has friends who are police officers who know what he does and are complicit either by actively helping or by just turning a blind eye and letting him go rogue. I love a good mystery and a good thriller but I find it unsettling that his vigilantism is portrayed in such a heroic manner. It doesn’t sit well with me. Is the story good absolutely, would I recommend it I don’t think so. I am not so naive to believe the world a perfect place, but in the books I read for enjoyment I’d like my hero to be less fast and loose with the law.
I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily review this book. This is my honest review.
