So I’m reading these back to back to back and I think this one is even better than the last. I love Levi and Dominic so much but the tension btwn them in this book is so good and them both hitting rock bottom in this book was totally necessary. They both need serious help and I’m hoping they get it in the next book. And of course I want to see their relationship flourish. Even throughout all this shit in the book they are so good for each other 😭
It’s funny that crime books are typically so plot driven but my love for these books is totally based on the characters.
Tho the seven of spades is SUPER interesting it’s just weird how book 2 and 3 have so little of the killer! I definitely appreciate the killers connection to Levi’s other cases & dominics case. And it’s super interesting seeing the profile of the killer fleshed out and to see him and Levi interact and how they relate to each other. Every time I put down one of these books I pick up the next one! #4 here I go!
Plot summary
The seven of spades is back and everyone knows it. They have like 11 victims so far. they take a break bc Levi is on vacation w Dominic.
Dominic meets Levi’s parents and they love him, obviously.
Levi’s cases surround the local gangs. There are 3 major gangs but they all have tentative alliances like they collaborate on different sectors together so they’re not enemies. But a series of crimes happen where one gang member is attacking another. First one member kills the other over a rumor of him sleeping w his wife. Then there’s a driveby shooting where one gang shoots another gang, but they thought it was someone else. It appears that someone is manipulating gang members into committing violence against each other- but why would someone want to start a gang war???
Dominic is working a PI case for a college girl who dropped out and ran away for a shady guy. Dominic finds where she goes to church and watches her and she’s followed by armed guards. He drops a gps tracker/audio tracker in her purse. She’s staying at like an insane super guarded compound. SUS. He listens to her bf be verbally abusive. He hears their plans to go to a secret party. He decides to go and watch them. He goes to this party and it turns out it’s a fucking underground illegal casino. He’s fucked! He’s a gambling addict! But if he leaves he blows his cover.
He makes contact with the girl, Jessica, bc she recognizes him from church. She covers for him to her crazy bf saying she
