I received this book through the First Reads program.Wow what a fabulous ride such an exciting book that I read it in almost one sitting full of so much action that I couldn t stop myself from turning the pages to keep the story going, long into the night even though I had not read the first book in the series, I did not feel lost in the story line whatsoever the author did a great job of keeping the reader fully engaged throughout amazing characters

    7. I received this book as a Giveaway from David Putnam Thank you so much for allowing me to read this novel David Putnam has a firm handle on police procedurals, and his protagonist, Bruno Johnson, is all about empathy This was an excellent book, the story tight and the characters are three dimensional It s setting, for the most part Las Angeles and environs, are well defined I will watch for by this author.
