HIS BIGGEST CASE YET. BUT IT COULD BE HIS LAST…

NYPD officer Callum Burke is on a routine drugs raid when he bursts in on a scene of monstrous horror – and two killers about to get away.

The men are caught but they won’t talk. All the cops learn is that they’re Russian and extremely dangerous which means this could be the start of a savage new gang war.

Callum Burke is assigned to the investigation. It’s Manhattan in 1997 and the city is being cleaned up. The pressure is on.

But when Callum discovers there might be more to the Russian involvement than just criminal gangs, he finds himself in deeper trouble than he’s ever known…

My Opinion

An action packed crime thriller with some intense shots. If you are interested in gangs, drugs, some Russian action, then the book is for you. Inspector Callum Burke emerges as a character of strength and wits. I really enjoyed the book. Although, the plot was a little bit slow but it kept its pace.

Definitely, 4 stars for the book. Thanks to Rachel's Random Resources for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.
