Full of action that keeps you reading. Mac Fontana is good at investigating but he works outside orders--how else to uncover corruption? He's still trying to deal with his past history of using violence justified by moral righteousness. Set outside of Seattle, WA in a small town probably swallowed up by suburbs by now. Seems to heal mighty fast from injuries incurred in the line of duty. Enough women willing to use intimacy to get their way and with more psychological hangups.
Lots of fire department lingo shows the author's done his share of work as a fire fighter. ( )
