When he returns to find the man's corpse, he is filled with an intense rage, and swears he will hunt down these thugs and have revenge.. But when the old man's granddaughter appears, still left alive,Sullivan knows he has no choice but to protect her from the powerful men who are looking to complete their murder. Can he get the girl to safety before they catch up with him? Or will his weakened state end up putting this girl in too much danger?

Excellent Book
I enjoyed the first book a lot and gave 4*, perhaps this was an over score but personally believe anyone that goes through the trauma and travails of writing a first novel should be given a bit more for effort.
This book seems somehow to have morphed into a much more sophisticated effort. It’s clever and thoughtful. Not really an anti hero, just a man tortured by his past. The angst of this position threads the narrative cleverly. Here he ends up initially in the arms of an older couple looking after a young grandchild…
It’s ripping stuff, action fans will love it. Those wishing a more cerebral read will find it here also. It’s a shame Amazon stick to this five star review format for this is worth six.
Recommended.

Disappointing. A whining, depressed assassin who kills people who don't stay killed and the people he is trying to protect get killed. Why is Jay Sullivan like the old time cowboy films where he takes on gaggles of armed enemies without a gun yet when he kills an armed enemy with a gun he doesn't take it to use. I can fight them all with my bare hands and a knife. He is all messed up with past events and he needs a shrink rather than a place to be. A grouchy ex-wants to be assassin who is anti social and not a fun "hero." I will read no more Jay Sullivan. At least put a little reality into you writing.

This second book in the series was just as action packed as the first. Jay has now decided he is not worthy of love or appreciation but I disagree. It takes a person with a conscience to decide to stop doing something that is morally wrong. He continued to kill people but as self defense. I was hoping to hear some more about Talia but maybe the next book will have more about their relationship.

Great Read
This is the third book by Ed Grace that I have finished in this lockdown.
A great character in Jay Sullivan whose morality and action keep you turning pages
burning midnight oil.Enough dramatic relief
to look forward to more thrillers by the author.
Recommended for all seasons.

This was way darker than any other in the genre the subject matter demanded it but still!
Well written and an interesting take on assassin. Totally broken, depressed, alcoholic and desperate. Jay just about stumbles into danger and is careless enough to be caught and tormented by the same people multiple times. Desperation and the need for some redemption spurs him on.

RIVETING!
No “casual Friday” for hard wired hero JS!
The alpha male LOVES his suits! Enjoyed the whiplash, page flipping storyline… however, I remain flummoxed…how did Madeline escape her captors and how did JS make family connections? Will I be haunted by the information gaps? I think NOT…already have moved on to book 3.
Thank you, EG!

Jay Sullivan takes too much abuse willingly. It gets a little tiresome. What ever happened to Hugo's other three children. Neither parent seemed to care?
