I really enjoyed this book. I am a very picky reader when it comes to fiction. If it doesn't hook me by the first chapter, I usually move on. I don't have time to waste waiting for the story to unfold or for the writer to set the scene after a few chapters.This book is a page turner that hooks you right from the beginning. I felt compelled to immerse myself in Jack Keegan's mind - to understand how he thinks and how he sees the world. Since this book is written from the first person perspective you discover the truth of the situation as Jack discovers the truth.For me it was a journey into what life would be if I lived in Chicago and worked for the police department. It was gritty and real, and made me feel like I was really there. I came away with a glimpse of what the judicial system, politics, policing and being a different person would be like. For that I'm grateful. I recommend this book.
