Action packed and a nice legal twist to end this fast paced short story.

Will Trent is on his way to an undercover assignment when he stops at a gas station for a drink and accidentally gets mixed up in a robbery. When most of the people involved end up dead and the old lady working in the gas station seems determined to mislead the Police is there more to this than meets the eye? 

This is another short story in the Will Trent series so works as a stand alone story and doesn’t affect the main series in any great way. 

It’s almost a nice little palate cleanser after how intense “Criminal” was. There’s no real stakes in play for the main characters but the case is interesting and Slaughter still manages to get a bit of a twist in, which is pretty impressive for a short story!

Love Will Trent. Waiting for a new book, so this was a pleasant find at the library.

Finished. Eh. Not good.

The best part of this one is the excitement that maybe the next book will prominently feature the uncover assignment Will was on his way to start when the action of this story sidetracked him. Oh and the motorcycle part was pretty cool too.
