Publisher Description
". . . a page-turner of a book, full of exceptionally well fleshed-out characters, an intricate but highly-plausible plot and enough action to satisfy all but the most demanding critic." ~John E. Donovan, Verified Reviewer
Responding to a "shots fired" call at an abandoned warehouse, Detective Joe Burgess realizes his worst nightmare when he finds one rookie officer shot dead and two other officers--one his lieutenant--gravely wounded.
With two brother officers near death, Burgess must race the clock to find and arrest the one person angry enough to seek revenge against the Portland police, before the rookie officer's funeral turns into a killing field.

Excellent read!
An otherwise peaceful end of shift turns horrid when Sgt. Joe Burgess is called to the scene of two officers who are not responding to dispatch. He finds one down and one injured and the shocking news that his lieutenant has been taken. A confusing crime scene, an injured but alive lieutenant Vince and Burgess and his team have quite the puzzle to solve. Possibly the most perplexing part is why was Vince there to begin with? As the team dives into this mystery what will they uncover? Pick up your copy to find out!
I am a huge fan of this author in general and this series in particular. These stories have a dark, gritty realism that jumps off the page. The characters be they cops, victims or perpetrators come alive and draw you into the case from beginning to end. If you like hardcore detectives who get the job done you will love Joe Burgess and his crew. The stories can be read as stand alone but if you start from book one you’ll have a much richer reading experience.
I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily review this book. This is my honest review.
