The highly-anticipated sequel to Sunday Times bestseller The Black Book
___________________________

Detective Billy Harney exposes an evil lurking deep within his city - but it also brings his own past demons to light...

To Billy Harney, the newest member of Chicago PD's elite strike force, getting shot in the head, stalked by a state's attorney, and accused of murder by his fellow cops is all part of breaking a case.

So, when a drive-by shooting on the Chicago's West Side turns political, he doesn't shy away from leading the investigation.

As the easy answers prove to be the wrong ones, Harney's quest to expose the evil that's rotting the city from the inside out takes him to the one place he vowed never to return to: his own troubled past.
___________________________

Unbelievable, uncomfortable, laughable.

Reviewed in Australia on 1 March 2022

There were many times I doubted this was a Patterson creation. .
Whilst accepting there is a lot of corruption in many police forces throughout the world, the reader’s task here was to figure out, who wasn’t corrupt.
I think it is becoming more and more his co-writers creations. Which is fine if that is expected but not if one expects the style and standard of the master.
Back to Connelly or even Grisham, whose books can also bea disappointment of late.

I can hardly wait for the third book in this series, though I am hoping for more than one. To know Bill Harney is to love him, he is a man principle. See you in July Bill.

A fast paced book, leads you in one direction then moves in another. Who can you trust ? Looking forward to the next book in this series.

Well it doesn't matter who Patterson co writes with or whether he simply writes the books himself, they are always exciting and are an excellent story.

An improvement over the previous Black Book effort.

The writing in this one was an improvement over its predecessor, The Black Book. However, the story as it unfolded was largely predictable.

Love this book and this series!

Reviewed in Australia on 3 June 2022

Det Billy Harney is not popular with his colleagues, having taken down a large number of corrupt Chicago police and getting a bullet in the head for his troubles. Finally back at work, Harney is posted to the elite Special Operations Section (SOS) where he and his new partner have trouble trusting each other. A drive-by shooting appears to be a gangland turf war, but closer inspection reveals something even more sinister. This high adrenaline police-action novel is as good as the first book by David Ellis. It was fascinating to watch the different pieces and players move across the board. I was thoroughly entertained and found it hard to put down. Actor Edoardo Ballerini narrates the audio like the champion he is, totally at ease with the different accents, tempos, and emotions.

Having read the preceding books, the atmosphere and familiar people made for a comfortable but exciting read. Suspense and surprises a-plenty. Enjoyable read

Another character to love!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 September 2021

Another great read, you feel as though you know the characters personally.
The usual twist and turns to keep you wanting more. Harney the real anti hero, you get dragged in willing him to break the case.
Can't whatsoever next one.

I am an avid James Patterson fan. I just did not get on with this one. Weak story line, overly complicated details and not enough character depth. Will just avoid this series
