#2 in the Jack Lamburt series.
I didn’t know that this book was part of a series and that I missed the first story. It didn’t matter as this reads as a standalone.
Quick paced and witty read.

Fun, entertaining book!
Warning uses lots of bad language (even uses the c-word) and a short semi-explicit sex scene but turned into an action scene (not romantic). You’ll see. So be forewarned.
But the story is FUNNY! What I liked most about the book is the humor. I smiled a lot and laughed out loud a few times too. The main character, the local sheriff, is making funny comments all the time. Sometimes I feel the author may be trying too hard, but I still loved that aspect of the book.
Mobsters drop in on a small town in NY and piss off the locals. The sheriff takes care of the bad guys- vigilante style. He may have no deputies or an even an office, they never mentioned it, but he seems to be capable by himself.
It is a short novel and the first in a series.
If you can look past the language, then read it!
It was different and I really liked it.

Quick read for an afternoon
The opening line of this book kind of gave the entire plot twist away for me, but that's ok.
I forgot about it as I sped through the rest of the book in about 3 hours.
My favorite parts revolved around this blessedly ancient woman who gives no f*cks about anything, and she is amazing. The main characters are shallow, sex obsessed and violent, and their internal dialogues never fit with a real situation. Come on, we can't all be Chuck Norris in real life!
My main issues were:
1) Cobleskill is not upstate NY, I live at the top of the boot and take offense to that 😂
2) there is NO way that Debbie wasn't entirely traumatized by a certain event, I mean there is NO way she would have reacted so casually after it was ... Resolved. This is ultimately why I dropped my rating, I felt like her assault was handled like a light joke and it really was pretty invasive for it to be that casually thrown off.
3) Typos and plot holes. I can forgive plot holes in a book that reads like a novella but not all of the typos.
All in all: it kept my attention and I read it in one sitting. I would recommend for anyone into vigilante stories that don't want to think too hard, but caution that anyone overly sensitive about sexual assault should probably steer clear

Jack Lamburt is the sheriff of a small quiet town in upstate New York. When a pack of New York City gangsters show up, he goes kill mode. It seems the leader of the gang feels he needs to teach a young local bar-girl a lesson. The Sheriff decides the gangster need to be exterminated. The Sheriff has access to pretty much every computer in the world thanks to a super secret organization.
Not bad, sort of a double twist ending.

I so love it when the baddies get their come uppance in such deliciously dirty ways! Jack Lambert does not mess around when he spots the goons, and all his instincts are spot on when he figures out they are up to no good in the town where he is Sheriff. So he does justice his way.
This book follows on from Airliner Down, where Jack's wife was murdered by terrorists on a plane. He still has flashbacks of that horrible explosion, and he won't let the same thing happen again, if he can help it...
Thoroughly enjoyable, it's a standalone read but to get the full history, please read Airliner Down, where it all began. Good stuff!
I received a copy of this book from the author, and I review every fiction book I read.

Jack Lamburt Vigilante series book 1.
The series revolves around Jack Lamburt. Jack's a small town sheriff, an ex-husband, dating an insanely hot bartender, and has a very dark secret but he's not the only one with a secret.
A tale of a small town sheriff going through life enjoying the small town life and dealing with all the small town crime, drinking at the local and only bar while watching his on again off again girlfriend flirt with the locals. That's his public life, his secret life is much more thrilling and dangerous, that is until his watering hole gets a few visitors from the big NYC of the Italian variety. Most local small town sheriffs might have been concerned but not Jack. Jack just happens to know something about one of his visitors and can't believe his luck.
In Jack's secret life he has access to unimaginable amounts of data. Not just data on criminals but everyone. The data he has on this crew indicates that one of them has been a very bad boy but his connections, ruthlessness, and money have kept him from doing any real time. It's unfortunate that he chose to stop in this town as his luck is just about to turn.
Overall I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the next book in the series although, I'm hoping that it's a new storyline but the way this ends indicates that's not the case which, could be the end of the series for me. In this genre, I'm not a fan of a singular plotline spanning multiple books.
There were a few annoyances throughout the story. Some of the comedy delivered by Jack in the form of internal dialog just didn't seem to work. The bad guys are given nicknames at the start of the book but once we find out that Jack knows them it takes many chapters until we get an actual name and then only one first name. I even went back through the story and never found the last name. It's not really a big deal but it's just odd.
The biggest one for me was something that happens at the end of the story. There's a bombshell of sorts dropped but there's nothing mentioned and it's almost like it never happened. I assume that it will be explored more in the next book but there was enough story after the event that I finished the book unbelieving that nothing was said.
These things really aren't a big deal and I would recommend it to fans of the genre. It's the first book for a new author and I have high hopes for both the author and the character.

Audio book from HooplaDigital.com
A little over 4 hours so I finished it.
My subjective opinion: An immature piece of trash. Do not read this if you have to pay for it or actually have other book options.
Hoopla actually listed this author as similar to C.J. Box. Well, he writes in the same language.

Great read, but not for the faint of heart...Why? Because Jack Lamburt is a no holds barred badass, the sort of guy that, deep down inside, every man wishes he could be!
This book has good action, some funny dialogue, lot's of well paced twists and turns, and a crazy ending. Highly recommended for vigilante lovers.

A struggle this one, a small town sheriff with access to a super spy network. Caricature bad guys and some very strange plotting. Oh and lots of gratuitous sex.
None of it works and this one is very much best avoided.

I love the fast pace of this book, edge of your seat drama, and the dry sense of humor that kept me chuckling.

December 17, 2018Personal response: I really enjoyed reading this book because it had a lot of action and it kept my interest. This book was very confusing when I did not pay close attention, because so much happened in a small amount of time. Another reason why this book was confusing was that it did not give me the real names of all the characters. I did not know the main character’s name until page 187.
Plot: This book was about a sheriff named Jack and this little town that was about to be shocked by a group of mobsters. On a Friday night, Jack was at the bar with Mary Sue and a big guy walked in the bar. He was wearing a black jacket and looked very wealthy. Jack knew something was not right about him being in this small town. He looked like a man from a very big town which threw up a red flag. The big guy followed Mary Sue home and Jack trailed behind them. They arrived at her house and Mary walked in. Shortly after, the big guy walked in. Jack waited a good ten minutes before he entered the house. He screwed on his Osprey silencer and walked up to the house. He entered through the back door. He saw the big guy by the back sliding door, so he had to make an entrance through the front of the house. He got to Mary Sue’s top floor without the man seeing him. Jack realized there was a boy that was tied up next to Mary Sue. He was a teenage boy. Jack made it upstairs, right above the big guy. He jumped on him and knocked him out. Jack knew where to dispose of his body so he took him to the well up on top of the mountain. He drug him in the hole and threw some dirt on him. He placed a big boulder down on top. Jack was happy to have the quiet town back.
Characterization: Jack was laid back and worry free at the beginning of the book. He thought nothing bad would happen in his town. At the end of the book, he was more cautious of people entering and leaving his town.
Mary Sue is Jack's crush so he always watches over her. At the beginning of the book, she does not look out for herself and trusts everyone. She changes when the stranger tries to kill her. She becomes very cautious.
Setting: This book took place by the Texas and Louisiana border in a very small town, which was unincorporated. This impacted the plot because there was only one sheriff. The town was mostly dead and was in a mountain range. It did not have many strangers or crime. This impacted the plot because a stranger came to town and kidnapped Mary Sue, which shocked the sheriff.
Recommendation: I would recommend this book to ages 16 and up because of the mature and graphic content. I believe boys will enjoy this book more than girls because the main character is male and there is a lot of action.

Many books are full of action and revenge plots. But none of them try to outdo the machismo that shows up in Fatal Justice. It’s not just hyper masculine, it’s downright hyper annoying. Let me give you a little summary of the book. Spoilers follow obviously.
A small town sheriff, Jack Lambert, spends a day and a half doing no sheriffing, drinking at a bar, hanging out with his girlfriend and murders a few bad guy mobsters. That’s the whole plot except to add that he also works for a secret government agency and has some spy equipment. Plus he has a dog.
There’s just not a lot to this book. It’s quite short (which I appreciate) but it’s also not surprising at all, very straightforward, kind of dull, and not a good book. It’s never a good sign when there are ads for a free book at the beginning and two other books in the series at the end. This author is begging for people to keep reading his stuff rather than, I don’t know, writing a good story and hoping people want to keep reading.
Jack spends the entire book thinking about guns, murdering people, sex, beer, and his dog in that order. Over and over again. I’m not sure if the author is really obsessed with these things, or just thinks that’s what a macho guy should think. It got pretty uncomfortable living in this guy’s head after a while. Let me give you some examples of his thoughts.
“…my Glock always gave me a warm fuzzy…”
“…if there was one thing I was really good at, and I mean Super Bowl Champion good, it was getting away with murder.”
“I shook away the vision of shooting all three of them in the parking lot and stuffing their bodies in the trunk in a compromising sexual position before taking a photo, posting it on their Facebook pages, and driving into the woods and setting it on fire.”
“She had probably been attractive sixty years ago, but old age and dementia didn’t excite me like they used to, so I kept my distance from her.”
“I flexed my pecs and drank some beer.”
“He had officially risen to equal the IQ of my dog London.”
That’s a small sampling but the entire book can be summed up with those quotes. It’s the same stuff throughout and it’s super clear the author just wants his character to be Dirty Harry. I’ve seen Clint Eastwood and Jack Lambert is no Clint Eastwood.
I should also mention that Jack is not that bright of a person, despite what this book wants you to think. This guy is some kind of super spy who does consultant work for this secretive agency. But unlike any good spy, he never seems to act in the capacity of his cover job of sheriff. He pretty much goes to a bar and drinks, but doesn’t seem to see the need to enforce any laws or even fill out paperwork or anything. At one point in the book he is trying to memorize a license plate. Normally I would say, sure that can take some mental capacity and depending on your vision you need to get up close to catch all the numbers and letters. However, the license plate in question is KING REX. That’s it. Pretty sure with normal vision you can see that and it’s not hard to memorize. Yet Jack makes specific mention of memorizing the plate and adds to himself that Rex in Latin means King so in effect the plate reads KING KING. So it wasn’t hard to memorize, he should be able to see it, and it’s unique in the little town he is in. Yet he spends like five minutes later in the book sneaking up on the car in the dark to see if he can see the plate. He seems to get really up close to the car too. That’s just not the work of a good spy.
Additionally, Jack takes this evil mob guy off to kill him but instead of doing the sensible thing and just shooting him and dumping his body, he just dumps the body into a well and then shoots. That clearly only happens so the mob guy can come back again. What kind of trained spy doesn’t make sure the body is dead?
Jack also thinks that a guy who has his life threatened by gunpoint and begs to be let go is “a submissive pansy.” Not everyone can be a manly man like you, Jack. It’s so great that manly men like you are around to do manly man things. Now to be fair the “submissive pansy” doesn’t do anything to try to stop a woman from getting nearly sexually assaulted, so it’s not like I like that character. I’m just saying that when your life is threatened, it can be reasonable to try to escape the situation.
I also thought this was a weird comment in the book in Jack’s head. “I silently vowed that my next girlfriend would be repulsive even to Shrek.” So a couple things here. One, Jack is so obsessed with how women look and bend over that even as a joke this doesn’t really work. Two, Shrek is all about inner beauty so uh, I think you were too dumb to understand Shrek there, Jack. Also, in the climax of the book when Jack is trying to get his girlfriend freed from the mob boss he thinks about how the forest always smells so good to him. Jack, focus. You need to focus here dude.
Now, Jack isn’t the only character in the book that either has odd thoughts or does things that make no sense. Here are some examples. Two mob goons call a waitress a wench. Wench? Really? Did we suddenly go the ren fair? Jack’s girlfriend, out of nowhere and with no previous mention of it, knows Judo. The mob boss saves his own life because he was a Boy Scout. That last one I didn’t have that much of a problem with but in the same section, he feels uncomfortable and disturbed because he is in the woods. Isn’t that where he learned his Boy Scout skills? At one point when the mob boss has Jack’s girlfriend hostage, and knows Jack is on his way to where they are, he takes the time to literally fondle and smell her high heels. Gross. And what? What kind of moron does that when you might get killed. I died sniffing sweaty shoes, but it was worth it!
In the end, Jack of course saves his girlfriend, gets to get away with murdering three people, feels no remorse about it other than the fact that his dog died (hmm… the dead dog thing reminds me of a certain film series) and continues to live in this town. Not sure why the town pays him to tell you the truth cause he just does murdery stuff and drinks. Although, technically Jack only throws the mob boss out of an airplane and doesn’t confirm the dude is dead, so maybe he only killed two people after all.
So, in conclusion, if you want a great story about a guy who is overly masculine, just re-watch Die Hard. You’ll have a much better time.

At one point when the mob boss has Jack’s girlfriend hostage, and knows Jack is on his way to where they are, he takes the time to literally fondle and smell her high heels. Gross. And what? What kind of moron does that when you might get killed. I died sniffing sweaty shoes, but it was worth it!
In the end, Jack of course saves his girlfriend, gets to get away with murdering three people, feels no remorse about it other than the fact that his dog died (hmm… the dead dog thing reminds me of a certain film series) and continues to live in this town. Not sure why the town pays him to tell you the truth cause he just does murdery stuff and drinks. Although, technically Jack only throws the mob boss out of an airplane and doesn’t confirm the dude is dead, so maybe he only killed two people after all.
So, in conclusion, if you want a great story about a guy who is overly masculine, just re-watch Die Hard. You’ll have a much better time.

This book started off good with chapters from Jack Lamburt, the main character’s POV written in an easy to read style. But then Etzil started bringing in chapters in several other characters’ POV. This would have been okay if they were in some kind of pattern (like alternating chapters) but they were random – sometimes 1, sometimes 2, sometimes 3-chapter sections – breaking up the flow of the story. And several jumps in the story line had me saying, ‘Wait! When did they move from here to there?”
This book is called a ‘vigilante justice thriller’ but Jack isn’t a true vigilante. He works for a ‘super-secret’ government agency that gives him access to unlimited information on everyone – an aspect of this story I find (a) disturbing, (b) unrealistic, and therefore (c) hard to buy into – which he uses to gain an edge on people he is after. There’s no on-going sense of tension in the story because Jack also has training that gives him a leg up on his foes.
The only good things about this book are it was short (144 pages) and it was free.
Bottom line: A 1½ star book (disappointing) that left me with no desire to read the next book in this series or anything by Mr. Etzil.

"Implausible"
This struck me as being designed by a committee or a random story generator. Our stereotypical villains were infiltrated by a boy scout who needed all his woodsman skills to escape from certain death. The local sheriff had a back story that rivalled Superman. His girlfriend threw the feminist rule book out of the window and flirted with every customer that entered the bar. Don't get me started on the nonagenarian at the end of the bar. On the plus side, it was a quick read. On reflection, this was like all those motorcycle gang macho adventures, but without the Harley's. Oh wait, there was a bike...
It didn't appeal to me, but knowing how popular the biker genre is this will find an eager market.

I was searching for a western on Amazon, and this came up as a free book.
It is not what I would call a western. It was fast paced and had plenty of action and some interesting characters.

A very good story about small town crime. I believe this sheriff is one of the best I’ve ever read about. He is the sheriff but he still has ties to his former life as a ‘spook’. He has all the undercover paraphernalia he needs to find out about the three men who come into town throwing their weight around and making their small town worry. These three men turn out to be mafia. Bad boys for sure. They expect everyone to be overly happy to see them and give them the run of their town. The sheriff doesn’t feel that way and takes matters into his own hands. All us people in these small towns should be this lucky. This book is a great read. I highly recommend it.

Entertaining reading
The author has written a very interesting story of how a small town law enforcement officer deals with a very interesting and touchy situation that he doesn’t want to get out of hand.

Good read
Took me back to Westerns with additional shades of Mickey Spillane with a touch of Ed McBain. Easy to read

Fatal Justice by John Etzil is a fast-moving story about a small town sheriff, Jack Lamburt, who takes on a mob boss and his two associates after they try to strong-arm the young server in the town bar. Jack doesn't dress the part - there's no sheriff station or jail cells in this small town, therefore, he's doesn't make arrests. Instead, Jack Lamburt is the judge, jury and executioner when it comes to handling people who threaten the town's citizens.
The author gave Jack a snarky disposition and his comments will invite snickers from readers. There are twists and turns, actions that don't go according to plan, and a flirty bartender who flaunts and teases everyone she encounters. She promises Jack a fulfilling night - something he's looking forward to...providing he lives through the night.
Not a bad start to a new series - I'll check out the next installment when it's available.

John Etzil is a new author for me.
Jack is a different kind of sheriff in a small town. This is one book that I just couldn't put down. Well written, and hard hitting with lots of twists. You won't be sorry you picked it up...unless you were supposed to be doing something other than sitting with your nose in a book for 2 days.

Summit. Red Barn bar/restaurant (Route 10/Charlotte Valley Rd.). Sheriff Jack Lamburt (former CIA, Notre Dame; BB) stopped in to make sure there were no fights going on.
Lakeview House B&B (Summit Lake, Sawyer Hill Rd.). King Rex (aka Ostrich Boy), Fatty, & Skinny Guy mobsters were hold up there.
Ostrich Boy as headed down Clapper Hollow Rd., where Mary Sue Stuart (daughter, college student, P/T waitress) lived.
Harold (friend) had come to see her.
Sheriff Lamburt & London (elderly German shepherd) had arrived on the scene.
Sam Rexanio (aka Ostrich Boy) was taken into custody.
When he came to, he was hog tied in the back of a pickup.
It was very cold/wet down in a well, but Sam was still alive.
The derringer in his boot might be very helpful.
Red Barn bar/restaurant. Sheriff Lamburt had got a call from Debbie (waitress, Jack’s on/off again GF).
Fatty, & Skinny Guy had returned.
Didn’t go well for them, a couple bar patrons made sure they might not come back again.
Sheriff Lamburt was hiding in their SUV.
A mob from inside was not done yet, but the 2 of them sped away just in time.
Bad news the cover was off the well, but Fatty, & Skinny Guy were both headed downward.
Sam (Ostrich Boy) had kidnapped Debbie.
The dog snagged on to Sam, but he shot it dead.
Debbie’s cell ran, Jack was on his way over to her place.
Sam buried his face between Debbie’s legs.
She was faking as Debbie was about to squeeze the daylights out of Sam.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written crime thriller book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great crime thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. It wasn’t exciting as I was hoping so I will only rate it at 4/5 stars.

This book has a little good and plenty of bad in my opinion.
Blurb
Mobsters get to this town in the middle of nowhere where the Main Character lives and works as a sheriff. Their boss gets a little pervy with a waitress and when she dislikes it and doesn't allow him to do anything, being a big rational man, he follows her, ties her and her Boyfriend up and tries to rape her. The MC has to illegally deal with him because the law is broken when it comes to criminals like this.
Spoilers
Thoughts...
Maybe this is a book about abuse, like how Jack abuses his former intelligence agent powers to spy on everyone, or how the mobster abuses women quite frequently, or how criminals abuse the system to get scot-free in every situation, but... I don't know...
Jack is too much of a male power fantasy for that to be true. He's just so right and smart and strong and good at maths — I don't think the power he abuses is framed as abuse. He's just too (narratively speaking) cool for it.
The rape thing just doesn't quite make sense either. John trivialises the sexual harassment of men but almost treats the sexual harassment of women seriously, but he uses the sexual assault of women to set precedents for his ideal manliness, but he also uses it to do a girl boss moment... it's all over the place. And at the end of my review, there's an extra adjacent "pattern gripe" of mine.
The criminals abusing the system is the most sensible thing here... but the book doesn't really offer much more than a bandaid. We don't get to inquire why that's the case. We don't get to question a system that can be so easily exploited. We don't need factual answers, but for this to be the theme we at least should've had a discussion about how broken systems require people to fight for justice. I saw the seeds but I don't think it went anywhere.
Pros & Cons...
Pros...
Overall, there's...
• an organized plot,
• some build-up and tension,
• and very vivid descriptions.
Cons...
• The MC comes out as a bit of a sexist and stereotypically sadistic. I hate him.
• The MC, quite realistically, really likes to tell you how he puts long in schlong. I'm not at all opposed to cock but... What's the purpose of measuring it? Who does it matter to? Why? Google it. Check the optimal specs. I would wager it's there so the men reading can wear Jack's cock and feel manly. It's realistic though. Men do do that. I might need to reflect on why this is the longest topic I wrote.
• The MC says something like "shame she has to flirt with all those guys because her job demands it " about his girlfriend... She's a bartender. Imagine if Moe needed to flirt to sell beer on The Simpsons. This seems to imply that she only sells beer because she flirts with the patrons and not because of alcoholism, advertising and the search for manliness in arbitrary things.
• The MC refuses to compliment his GF's personality. Like, I'm just as not opposed to boobs as I'm not opposed to cock, but is that all there is to her? Is his love this shallow? Can't they bond over their shared love for dogs or something? Does she, perhaps, not like maths too?
• "Use Tor and buy Apple!" said the MC more than once. This feels sponsored. I guess the Tor thing makes sense contextually, but the product placement isn't quite so fun. And I guess if you have an iPhone, you've got to get your money's worth in bragging, maybe?
• The MC also enjoys a bit of cruelty — which is all right, many characters, like The Punisher, do fancy it a bit — but there's very little in terms of redeeming qualities. He knows maths, I guess?
• The MC doesn't change. When that's the whole point, it's not a con but that's not the case. He was just right all the time, why would he? It's right to invade people's privacy, to demand combat prowess of a random young man, to be sadistic and ravish in inflicting pain and distress... innit?
• The POV is 1st person but it has a scene the MC couldn't have seen play out, which breaks the perspective. It also changes perspective a few moments later. I don't like 1st person, but I think this part was relatively well executed. I just think it was a bit jarring to break it at the end.
• Lots of rape attempts, no trauma at all, no focus on the victims... The book only focuses on the man who is very angry about it. Feels icky that the suffering of two women was just motivation for a man.
- "Women harassing men... lol... It doesn't happen at all and definitely doesn't leave anyone traumatised... so it's funny..." I'm tired.
Grey areas
- He also gives us some colourful insights on maths. Just because... I would be tempted to do the same with linguistics if I wrote the book. I didn't enjoy it but Sesame Street's Count would love it.
My conclusion
It seemed to me like the power fantasy of a guy who wants to showcase his masculinity by saving some damsels in distress, usually from rape.
I was going to give the next entry in the series a chance, but the first chapter is basically a new villain trying to rape MC's GF.
So I didn't... Why so much rape...? Is it excusable if the woman kills the rapist? Shouldn't it mean something?
I don't know...
EDIT: I rewrote this because young me was, much like this book, one star. I'm at least two now, I hope. I also hope this is more helpful and readable. Why did this book get stuck in my mind? It's so strangely memorable and intriguing. How odd.

Regretfully, this is the first story I have read by Mr. John Etzil, but I assure you it will not be my last. Outstanding story of my kind of law enforcement, as Sheriff Lambert pulls no punches in his attempt to bring justice to those responsible for ongoing violations of people's rights in his jurisdiction! Great job!
Certainly five stars worthy, especially If you are a former law enforcement officer, as I am. I was impressed with the author's in depth descriptiveness of each and every exciting episode the Sheriff was involved in. Reminds me of the Walking Tall movie. Outstanding storylines from beginning to end, and the selections of characters definitely portrayed their assigned roles to perfection!
There are definitely enough suspenseful episodes to maintain your undivided attention from beginning to end. Too, the Sheriff was very protective of the citizens that were plagued by the bad guys, as he pulled no punches when he was required to protect them!
Definitely recommend this compassionately motivated story to everyone, even you dyed in the wool western lovers, as the excitement never ceases to amaze you throughout the entire book! Too,there is a little "off the cuff" romancing throughout the story to heighten your reading, and undivided attention! You are the loser, If You don't follow Sheriff Jack, as he delivers justice in the most appropriate manner! Loved his techniques!!😄

Jack Lambert is the sheriff of a small town in upstate NY where the only entertain!ent is the Red Barn Bar. A place where the locals hang out and the sheriff's girlfriend works. Life in a small town can be very quiet but Jack has a second job. HE KILLS BAD PEOPLE!! He is connected with HFS, (Home Front Securities ) , a government organization that spies on people looking for terrorists. The only problem is the government is NOT interested in any criminals, just terrorists!! Jack takes care of the others.
Jack finds out that a mobster from NY City is in his neighborhood! So it is time to keep an eye on him and his goons. When "Ostrich Boy" decides to get even with the young waitress for walking away from him, it is time for Jack's SECOND JOB to begin!!!
I really like Jack and the locals and the humor of what Jack is thinking and am looking forward to the next book. My one suggestion is to read Airliner Down before reading Fatal Justice because it will give you some background on Jack, his wife's and his unborn son's death.
