I am quite fond of Marty Singer.  This is my kind of protagonist; an older guy, cancer survivor, struggling to find his way through the complex emotions of aging and discovering a new and different kind of wisdom than he had before in his past successful career as a homicide cop.  Through the first four books we saw him find a chosen daughter from a long ago horrific crime, work his way through chemo,  and shy away after coming too close to a real relationship with a flawed women for his comfort level.  We've also seen him learn again and again that black and white do not exist, only shades of grey.In this excellent new book in the series, Marty is along for the ride as a younger officer calls on him for the kind of support only Marty can give, which is intelligence, courage, honor, and the willingness to kick bad guy butt as needed. Singer is always worrying the ideas of right and wrong, suffering, conscience, and honor in the back of his mind through every adventure.This story dealing with human trafficking is just great and the ending is perfect. Iden is a strong writer with tight plotting, nuanced character development, excellent pacing, and a great finish take-away to every book. I love that he has varied cultures and ethnicities in every book and characterizes them perfectly.I always await with pleasure the next Marty Singer story and grab it on release date.  You should too!  Highly recommend.
