Aaron Philip Clark is positioning himself as one of the new ringleaders of Los Angeles noir. Roaming through LA's underbelly, searching for something like truth, Clark's protagonist, Trevor Finnegan, finds more slime than he's prepared for. As a real outsider, as a man of color, and a former cop, he has trouble achieving the respect he's due as a result of his principled stand. He's drawn into an investigation he isn't prepared to handle, and things go expectedly awry. Clark is an accomplished writer with a real feel for his city. Hint: read Under Cover of Law, first. It's the predecessor in this series, and look for Clark's heist novel partnership with 50 cent.

I love a great thriller and this one ticked all the boxes for me.
A retired cop is on the run from the spotlight and on a mission to reveal the actual killer of a LAPD’s officer. But not everything is as easy as it may seem. Finn will become an eyewitness without his will and from now on, things escalate quickly.
It’s a cat and mouse race , like hiding and seeking who the real person is behind everything and more over, why was Riley killer. Even if Munoz won’t be of much help as he has his own secrets to keep.
I loved this book. It’s suspenseful and full of intriguing characters and moments when I thought I knew what’s coming next but I was so wrong.
The author has created a world where the action is playing just like a movie, and that makes total sense because after reading the book, I actually checked the publisher’s note when we find out that the author is a big name as a screenplay writer for Hollywood.
I’m looking forward to see this book on the big or small screen because it deserves its own place along with the big ones out there.
Perfectly crafted, an intriguing and suspenseful book that will keep you up way to long on the night.

Fast-paced, but not nearly as good as the first one. Too many implausible things for a series of plot lines that take place a mere 2ish years after the last one.
This time, the characters were more caricatures rather than well-rounded flawed characters.
