When you’re in trouble, you call 911.
When cops are in trouble, they call Nick Ryan.
Every cop in the city knows his name, but no one says it out loud. In fact, they don’t talk about him at all.
He doesn’t wear a uniform, but he is the most powerful cop in New York.
Nick Ryan can find a criminal who’s vanished. Or he can make a key witness disappear.
He has cars, safe houses, money, and weapons hidden all over the city.
He’s the mayor’s private cop, the fixer, the first call when the men and women who protect and serve are in trouble and need protection themselves.
With conflicted loyalties and a divided soul, he’s a veteran cop still fighting his own private war. He’s a soldier of the streets with his own personal code.
But what happens when the man who knows all the city’s secrets becomes a threat to both sides of the law?
Dru’s Short Musing:
Law and lawlessness belie the underbelly of danger as conspiracies, mistrust and lies play out in this taunting drama of one guy doing what needs to be done in a town that never sleeps.
Well-written with a solid plot that kept me engaged from beginning to the end. Love the short chapters which made it easy to follow along with what the author intended. Grippingly enticing is how I would describe this visually descriptive narrative that left nothing to chance. Overall, a great read and I look forward to more adventures with Mr. Nick Ryan.
FTC Full Disclosure – I received an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) from the author.
I’m going to put this one on my library list even though it is outside my reading comfort zone.
Sounds good, Dru Ann. Thanks for the review!
