An excellent book. It had been sitting on my "to-be-read" mountain for over a year and I'm so glad I finally chose it.
So many things about it that I loved. Tense, tight dialouge, believable characters, elaborate but realistic plotting... I love that the protaganist has well-developed relationships with the supporting characters, that his reactions to the murder of his seven-year old daughter were so realistic and yet he shows more honor and integrity than many would. (Not a spoiler, by the way; the murder happens on the first page.)
I'd recommend it for fans of Lee Child, Greg Iles. In places, a bit bloody. Not for the squeamish.

Good book, lots of twists an turns. Makes you realize the justice system doesn't always work. A character you will like and want to read about again in his Book The Program, read them out of order, oops. Very likable characters all the way around.If you don't like bloody scenes you may not want to read.

Fast paced, excellent read. My first by this author but definitely not my last. Hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys in this one, just depends on where you draw the line.

Part of Crais' Tim Rackley series, and he just keeps getting better and better. A series that it's good to start at the beginning, but still a great stand alone story. Lots of depth to the characters, scenes so real it's like a movie while you read it, with lots of twists and surprises. In this one, Tim Rackley gets in with a group of vigilantees, to solve some crimes both personal and organized, and almost loses everything. Great read.
