A Jack Taggart Mystery #5
Dead Ends
Intrepid Mountie Jack Taggart is hurled into a world where morality, justice, and the legal system are pitted against one another. Taggart investigates the murder of someone who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wiretap information identifies a shadowy gang member known only as Cocktail as being responsible.
Taggart and his partner go undercover to join one of a coalition of gangs who are at war in British Columbia. Their mission is to identify Cocktail and gain evidence to convict him of murder. Taggart soon finds himself knee-deep in drive-by shootings, meth labs, retaliatory murders, and date rapes.
An offer of a truce pact to stop the gang warfare is arranged by Cocktail. Taggart, along with gang bosses, is taken to a remote location to discuss a peace agreement. What they find is that Cocktail has lured them into a trap of torture and murder.

I found it hard to get into this book at the beginning. The conversations between the characters were a bit tedious. I almost gave up on the book but I'm glad I didn't. After about a third of the way in, the story picked up and got quite exciting. The twists and turns in the story line were surprising and kept me hooked on the book to the end. I rather enjoyed the end where everything was tied in and made sense. Good book if you can ignore the boring start.

A nice diversion. I would have enjoyed it even more if it had been properly proofread.
I'm not usually such a stickler but far too many errors appeared. They were an annoying distraction.
Storywise it was good.

I literally took every spare minute to read this book. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! I was depressed when it ended because it was so good! Yet again another good book!

Another great read
Another great novel by Don't Easton. Hits all the right note for a crime thriller, would definitely recommend to any fan of the genre.
