[Carol · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good and bad abides all in the main character who made a choice and is now tormented to make things right, even at the cost of his own career. Cassidy’s close friends are there to help him but his enemies are bent on his destruction. The author fully develops the moral dilemma that Harry Cassidy faces when he neglects to fulfill his responsibility. The reader is also torn between the decisions Harry needs to face. Lots of twists, turns and surprises in this book and Mr. Hack’s 22 years of personal experiences in the law enforcement field in Nassau County gives added belief to the situations...thus making for a really good read.
