Bruno Johnson #9
I love this series although I haven’t followed it in sequence, I had not trouble getting into it. Mr. Putnam knows how to give us one hard-boiled crime fiction that opens with a bang and goes on at breathtaking pace till you reach the last page.
In this edition Bruno, an ex-cop, who has been hunting down violent criminals and paroled ex-con…is in deep trouble. Just released from hospital recovering from a gunshot in the chest is now on the FBI Most Wanted list now holed up along with his wife at a hotel in Glendale. He isn’t really a criminal but isn’t opposed to crossing the line to help abused kids…. helping a friend this time has placed him in a tight spot…..
If you are a crime enthusiast like I am you will enjoy how the author places Bruno in implausible situations taking literary license detours to give us an exciting read one that has captivated and held me captive in never ending suspense. The language and descriptions show the author knows the lingo, no surprise there being a retired law enforcement officer he knows the game.
The plot is intriguing and action packed and is one tough story to put down. It gives us a good balance of likeable and not so likeable characters. In my books this story has all the attributes to make this a riveting read.
This book was available at Edelweiss as a read now I took advantage of the offer why not.
