Bummer! I really wanted to like this book and was really looking forward to a good story----BUT---it fell short of that----it is very slow moving and everything has to be described and I mean everything! It even goes in the past of the characters and describes things that don't even pertain to this story, I guess supposed to be a 'background' for the characters but it is just page fillers.

It starts with an undercover operation going bad, really bad and one of the officers get killed, from that point on it just got confusing, I guess the main story is the investigation into what went wrong but my oh my it just drags and drags on and on, I felt it was just boring and I HATE so many descriptions that just aren't needed!
