Following on from the last two books of the series, I marvel at just how much trouble Sam Archer can get himself and others involved with. Helping a young lady in a car park results in him being hurt and his partner, Alice Vargas ending up in hospital. Having to already face an inquiry into his previous conduct, things only get worse when a senior officer in the NYPD appears to have it in for Sam, and provokes Sam into hitting him. To add to all of this, Sam’s actions have led all his friends into something much bigger than they could possibly have imagined. The plot is quite complex, the pace is unremitting, the forces involved extremely deadly, with a unique method of disposing of bodies just one of the horrors to be faced.
All the characters in I the series are so well developed by now that it is no wonder that they all pull for each other. A very readable novel, part of a series that are all attention grabbing. Highly recommended, especially as I have just acquired the next in the series totally free via Bookbub! ( )

Brilliant. Another Sam Archer story that had me sitting on the edge of my seat and out of breath with excitement. Starting off fairly innocuously with Archer and Vargas getting shot in a car park whilst collecting a pizza. This developed into a huge story of mass homicides involving a bent policeman, the Russian Mafia, the sex trade and a Latino gang with brilliant story lines interwoven throughout the whole book. A really fabulous read and it actually contained a happy ending. ( )
