In this intense action-packed, crime thriller from Roy Glenn, readers are brought up to date with all their favorite characters and some of their not so favorite ones from his infamous Mike Black Saga. The opening scene takes us into a battle where two good cops are literally up against crime. Will they survive the flurry of bullets coming at them? And what begins as a seemingly sedate state between married lovers, Black and Shy, quickly turns into a journey where not only a late night rescue mission is necessary but it sets off a series of events where more bullets are flying with Mrs. Black being one of the targets.Speaking of targets, no one in Black's circle is safe. It's anyone's guess who would want to get on the bad side of Black but I can say that wars have been stirred up for far more principle causes but when greed for money and power are at play, misunderstandings leading to death are the result.And if political corruption, a prostitution scandal, and a serial killer on the loose in the city doesn't keep your heart thumping, you also have an unsanctioned war with a drug kingpin creating strife and a rogue officer of the law trying to infiltrate the organization, turning this piece of work into a masterpiece. I would be remiss not to mention that between the verbal spats between a potential contender to Black's heart and the love of his life, Shy and the passionate love scenes that follow where he lays down his love, I could not put this down until I finished.There are many potential follow up stories so those of us that hope this series will never end, should know the potential for more is definitely there. I was extremely surprised by the ending though, with the enigmatic Jada West laying down the gauntlet. What she dangles may be hard for Mike Black to resist -he is a man after all. I know Black and Shy fans don't want to hear of a potential coup to their matrimony but know that Roy Glenn will make the journey of finding out what's in store, worthwhile.
