When a friend asks you to help him out, most people will say yes without question. When your estranged spouse asks for help with a private matter, you will do whatever you can. But for ex-cop and ex-junkie Mark Mallen, that means searching for both his friend's call girl sister and the daughter of the mayor of San Francisco. The two requests seem unrelated until Mallen realizes that he's stumbled onto something big and ugly and extremely dangerous. No one is safe. The tension is palpable and the story moves fast and furiously. Unhappily, it comes to a grinding halt at the very end and leaves a whole slew of questions unanswered. Since this title is the second in the Mark Mallen series, I can only hope that the answers to my questions and a most satisfying ending will occur in the next installment. Is the third book ready yet? Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Somebody's trying to scare Mallen off, and it's no ordinary street thug. With heat coming at him from all angles, Mallen's search for the truth leads him to men who will stop at nothing to make sure their twisted desires never see the light of day. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Mark Mallen is a former cop and recovering drug addict. He and his friend Gato return in this second book. Two girls are missing and one of them is Gato's sister, Lupe. Lupe is a prostitute, so she may have fallen into trouble due to her own activities, but the other missing girl is the daughter of the mayor. What could these two girls possibly have in common? What Mark discovers is chilling and disgusting - and much bigger and more dangerous than anything Mark has ever tangled with before.
Lewis is a good writer who has the ability to deftly capture an action scene, as well as the dialogue, which makes Critical Damage a captivating novel to read. This is definitely not a cozy mystery, though; the subject matter gets down and dirty as the case progresses into the world of pimps, prostitutes and the criminal underworld.
It might help to read the first novel, Untold Damage, and then this second novel, Critical Damage. There is definitely a third Mark Mallen novel in the future.
