W.J. Costello has done it again. Corruption is the first book about Max Stark who is a former FBI agent and Lawyer just released from prison and trying to get his life in order. Then stuff happens. I have been a fan of this author for quite some time now and have read almost everything he has written. I first thought that this is not my cup of tea but I got the book and it was really fun reading, now I wait for the second one in this new series.

This one was OK but not up to the author's usual standards.

Huh

First, I learned more about dogs and training them than anything else. Then, when it starts to get interesting, it ends.

Short novel. There must be sequels because most of this one was to introduce Max and his tracking dog, Rock. The corruption plot was sort of a sideline. Very entertaining and humorous.
