Went by too quickly, I wish I could have stayed in the story longer. Great plot, characters thinner than I like, but this is a thriller after all. Started it on a plane an finished in my hotel, perfect for that.

I liked Sakey's first book better. This one is set in Chicago (yea!) and tells the story of an "other than honorably" discharged soldier who teams up with a cop (female and hot, of course) to get revenge for his brother's murder. We get a lot of flashbacks to Iraq. (Eh, don't add to the story much. Just distracting and not memorable.) Our soldier's main nemesis is a gang on the South Side. I'm just not that into the gang theme. Of course there are dirty politicians involved - you couldn't have a Chicago story without them. OK, but not great. And weird that the soldier insisted on "being a soldier" well after he was cut loose.
