Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Jack Edgerton is a really likable fella and the second half really picked up pace and was hard to put down. Looking forward to the next installment soon to be released!

Police procedural with serial killing, espionage and corrupt politicians. The prose is rather clumsy and the characters somewhat stereotypical.
