Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Kyle Mills succeeds to paint a rather interwoven scenario which still feels mostly straight forward to the reader. In this book not everything is the way one would expect. The supposedly good guys are breaking at least as many laws as the bad guys. Federal agencies are the ones helping small time crooks breaking the law big time and getting away with it. The big time criminals are the ones calling the police to help them catch some bad guys...
The whole plot is based around big scale heroin trade, terrorist groups and a rocket launcher which threatens US citizens and the FBI desperately tries to find. Mark Beamon, once upon a legend at the FBI, initially only wants to help out a friend of his with a small favour but in the end finds himself at the centre of all this mess. And true to his nature he is following his instinct much more than orders from above...
