Maggie is a War Dog suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after being shot multiple times in Afghanistan in an attack that left her beloved handler dead.
Chance, or fate, brings her together with LAPD cop Scott, also a survivor of a violent shooting in the line of duty. Suffering demons of his own and unable to move forward after the loss of his partner he recognises a kindred spirit in Maggie. Together they embark on a journey of recovery while investigating the shooting that changed Scott’s life forever. However nothing is as it seems and as they dig deeper it becomes hard to tell the good guys from the bad.
Another great stand alone novel from the talented Crais, who brought us the Elvis Cole and Joe Pike (move over Jack Reacher) series. If you haven’t read him yet definitely put him on your reading list.
