I have never read any of Mr. Blake's novels before, but after chewing all my nails down to the nub while reading this thriller, I plan on rectifying that.From the opening scene to the very last word, this book zooms at breakneck speed. Your role as the reader is to just hang on for dear life as the action starts with a bang (literally) and ends with a boom! Mr. Blake's intense writing style fully immerses you in each vivid character. You feel their pain, their fear, their strength, their weakness. This is one of those books that you end up talking to the characters as you read. The connection is that real. Several times I yelled, "No, don't!"I'll admit, this type of thriller is not something I normally enjoy but this book has changed my opinion. Chock full of the real-life ugliness of the drug trade, murder-for-hire and finding the price that people are willing to leave their moral code at the door for, I was hooked.So, buckle your seat belts and get ready for one hell of a ride. I'm still shaking!
