Because consulting for the Mob always ends well.
Harry Duncan, ex-cop turned freelance investigator, gets roped into helping the feds track organized crime. Naturally, this means going undercover, bending the law, and making a few enemies who own more guns than houseplants.
The story moves fast. I like that Perry doesn’t waste words. Harry’s that classic, competent lone wolf who’s smart enough to know better but dives in anyway. I liked his dry humor and quiet confidence; he’s not flashy, just effective. The book’s got grit, a few surprises, and the kind of escalating tension that makes you mutter, “Oh, Harry, you really shouldn’t have done that.”
If you like crime fiction with brains and bullets in equal measure, this one’s worth the read. I gave it four out of five stars. Would not recommend as a retirement plan.
