Review:
I love Bruno- he is direct, loyal and puts his family above all. this is a bit of a departure for the crime books I tend to read- more gritty and violent, but it's not one to be missed! The FBI is looking to work with the Violent Crimes Squad, and the members know that never means anything good. After quickly figuring out the actual truth, bruno hits the FBI hard- by solving their cases quicker than they ever thought he could. His tactics may be unotthodox (and impractical in today's world), but they merit results and save lives. When his past comes to haunt hm in more than just his new partner, bruno has to learn who he can depend on-his family-by blood and not- to save not only himself, but those he loves. This is a crime book you wont be able to put down once it hooks you!
"Bruno Johnson believes so passionately in justice that he’ll lie, cheat, and steal to achieve it—and he’ll pulverize anybody who gets in his way..." —Booklist
Synopsis:
Bruno Johnson, a young and inexperienced LA County Deputy Sheriff, is trying to balance his life as the single father of a four-year-old daughter and his responsibilities as a cop in the Violent Crimes Unit. When he and his impetuous partner Ned Kiefer are put on loan to the FBI to help out with a “special problem,” Bruno finds himself in a real bind.
The FBI hands Bruno and Ned a case that the Bureau prefers not to touch—a group of teenage criminals that are being run by a nefarious criminal known as the Darkman. Bruno discovers the identity of the Darkman and is stunned to realize that he is the perpetrator from a lingering unsolved case—a triple homicide that continues to haunt Bruno.
The problem is how to stop the juvenile criminals without killing kids, and at the same time, avoid being killed by the kids—or by the Darkman—and keep his reckless partner Ned under control.
