Überwiegend sympathische Protaginsten und ein etwas außergewöhnlicher Fall... Mir hat's gefallen!

Dramatic Events!

Whether they make sense or NOT! I can't figure out how someone like this author can spend a career in law enforcement and not have learned attention to detail. I got to 33% and got fed up. DNF

La vida de Max Freeman cambió una noche que no olvidaría jamás. La noche en que mató a un niño en defensa propia durante un tiroteo en Filadelfia. La noche en que dejó de ser policía. Ahora lleva una existencia solitaria en los Everglades de Florida, donde intenta deshacerse de los fantasmas de su conciencia.
Entonces, encuentra el cadáver de una niña junto a un antiguo río y su pasado estalla en el presente.

Max is also working for Billy Manchester, a black attorney that he also grew up with in Philadelphia. Billy is working on a case of cruise liner employees who are being threatened by stand over thugs,

I found the story a bit slow in the beginning. The author seemed to need to fill me in on some details that I already knew even though I have only read #1 in the series. This story has many strands and both Max and the serial killer speak in the first person, which initially takes a bit of careful reading,
