I think the series has run its course. I love the author, loved the series, but this was just banking on those of us who loved the series to buy another book. Sorry, didn't cut it for me. Too much fluff in the story to make it worthy of a book.
Jack and Phin are having major marriage problems and go on vacation to reconcile their differences. Staying at McGlade's off the grid "cabin" they are targeted by an escaped killer who was one of Jack's first undercover gang collars. T-Nail will stop at nothing to kill Jack for busting him to prison on a 20 year sentence and paralyzing him. Gathering his gang & other colors to help out he raises an army to kill Jack & Phin. Luckily NcGlade's over the top vacation getaway is an actual fortress for war. Meanwhile, McGlade & Herb team up to help them by making a road trip in the crimebago. A meth addicted parrot, gun toting thugs, & help from old friends brings a full circle to help Jack. Fast & humorous and a little over the top but that's what is expected when McGlade is on the case
