20 years after his gangster father was murdered, a man discovers who killed him and plots his revenge. Although this is my first book by this author, I guess this is a recurring character. It isn't really a detective story; he doesn't do much sleuthing. It's not a legal thriller; there's no courtroom shenanigans. It's more just a story of a guy trying to get revenge for the death of his father and not get caught. I picked it up for Kindle and it was a quick, uneventful read. ( )

This was my first Joe DeMarco novel and it surely won't be my last. Mike Lawson has a style of writing that grabs your mind, this intense thriller keeps you flipping the pages, with characters that seem too come flying off the pages. ( )

Joe DeMarco finally learns who killed his mob-enforcer father, then jeopardizes his job and his life trying to do something about it. Lots of flailing around.

This series has been coasting for a while now. I'm not giving up on it, but I don't eagerly await every new book, either. ( )
