The thing is, a 'man' like that can't escape the hand of fate forever, and sometimes that hand comes from the most unexpected of places. He's evil to the core, just like dear old dad.he just had a better handle on how to hide it from prying eyes. Then, we high tail it through the aftermath of the inferno that was formerly known as Brody Royal's home base, with the fallout coming faster than you can utter the filth of a name that is Forrest Knox. He's still heck bent on collaring the baddies for crimes of old and losing focus on Penn's father, but no worries.he's about to get thrown back into the limelight. It's hard to believe how little time passed in this story (especially when you consider the LENGTH!) and yet SO MUCH HAPPENED! We start off just before the final events of book one in order to catch up with FBI Special Agent John Kaiser. My heart was in my mouth for most of the book. While it is true, for my own tastes, we got a bit too much into the details of the old political crimes, though here they are still quite relevant, it did not damper the progress we made in the present. Another common inquiry when dealing with sets of three did it fall victim to the typical 'middle child' syndrome so often seen in trilogies? No, definitely not. Did that make it less gruesome? Not really, I mean we ARE dealing with hate crimes, drug makers/dealers, police/political corruption, assassinations, and.need I continue? It did however mean that it wasn't quite as graphic as its predecessor.a good thing to note for the squeamish among you.

Whereas the first book had more of the heinous crimes detailed, this one was more about the 'meat' of the investigations.
