Carolyn Arnold's best work to date! As a fan of her Madison Knight series, I was excited to see how Ms. Arnold handled another protagonist and I was not disappointed. When I realized the story was going to be told from the point of view of a cold blooded killer, I had some reservations, but was pleasantly surprised when she was able to invoke feelings of sympathy and honor toward such a character. I found myself rooting for the assassin!As usual, Carolyn Arnold's research and understanding of the inner workings of police work, give the novel an air of authenticity and accuracy, rivaled only by those whose job it is to protect society. Taut and suspenseful, the story of Hunter and his forced return to his bloody past, kept the tension ratcheted up throughout, and the pages turning. His family threatened, his life in danger, and the law nipping at his heels, Hunter must bow to the Mafia's whim and perform one last job. Only things aren't always as they seem. I don't want to give anything away. I found myself enthralled by the storyline and carried away with the pacing, moving from page to page with ease.If you love to go to bed with a good cop story, even one with a little bit of a twist, then Carolyn Arnold's tale is a worthy companion.  Be warned though, you may find it hard to put down and sleep. Well done! I can't wait for the next one from her creative mind.
