Crime takes its toll on the crime-fighters…
…especially those who also see mass death and destruction. The author addresses this throughout the book; below, are two succinct examples:
‘He needed the reminder that there was more to life than the horrors they faced daily. A chance to recharge before diving headfirst back into the darkness.’
‘War changes people … but so does searching for monsters in our own ranks.’
One of the themes was of siblings being there for each other. Whether through death of a parent, heartbreak, illness,
What a cute pick-up line!
‘Will you be my accomplice in enjoying some downtime?’
Great description of a walk on a military base:
‘The aroma of stale coffee wafted through the air, mingling with the scent of gun oil and disinfectant’
We should all ask ourselves the same question. Imagine what a world this would be if we all asked ourselves the below question…
‘Can you live with yourself if you don’t do everything in your power?’

Thin Line (Hector Ramirez Thrillers) , my fifteenth read from author Daniel Pelfrey. A 140-page military police thriller. “I received a complementary Kindle copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I look forward to reading more from this author with TThe Old Ones: Book Two of the Chicago Underground Series next on my TBR list. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
