Cold City by F. Paul Wilson
5.0
I love Dr. Wilson's books. I am in the process of rereading the Adversary Cycle/Repairman Jack books (or rereading most of them, anyway--I haven't read the later Repairman Jack books yet). Since this book came out recently and since it is about Jack as a young man just coming to New York City, I read it out of chronological order, but that's okay, because it fills in some knowledge.
For the uninitiated, Repairman Jack is not an appliance repairman. He fixes problems. Someone harassing your sister? He fixes it. Repairman Jack is a man who lives off the grid, but if you need him, you can probably contact him. The first books (which come later) had more of a supernatural bent to them, but this book is straight action-adventure. In this book, he gets a job as a driver to smuggle cigarettes from North Carolina to New York, but through coincidence, becomes involved in a child sex slave ring, but works to fight his way out of that and save the children. There is also a mysterious group called "The Order" involved in this, but Jack doesn't know about it (I suspect that, since this is the first of a trilogy, he will be taking them on soon).
