Three young men gunning for action rob a minimart in a sleepy suburb north of Los Angelos. When things get out of control, and with the police on their tail, they flee the scene and invade a home in an exclusive gated community, taking a panicked family hostage.
Police chief Jeff Talley finds an all-too-familiar scene in front of the house where the criminals are holed up with a father and his two children. A former hostage negotiator with the LAPD's SWAT unit, Talley is quickly thrown back into the high pressure world that he has so desperately tried to leave behind. But Talley's nightmare has barely begun, because this isn't just any house, it holds the dirty secrets of L.A.'s biggest crime lord. And the people inside aren't the only ones held hostage...
My first Robert Crais book and I really liked it, would definately read another one of his books.
