Another fun one from the Henry/Rock duo! Following on from where the last book left off, Mac is in trouble at work - he is being accused of being inappropriate with his witness, Henry Page, of using excessive force with suspects and even using drugs. A murder of a drug dealer has occurred with a note saying it is all Mac’s fault… but Mac has no idea what is going on. 

Henry meeting up with his twin sister Viola, who is convinced that someone is hurting residents at the care home where she lives. Desperate to uncover what is going on and to protect his sister, Henry goes undercover at the care home posing as Viola… what could possibly go wrong? 

I loved this - we learn more about Henry’s past and meet his twin sister Viola. There is lots of scandal and intrigue and this book is very action packed. Again, it ends on a cliffhanger as it seems that Henry and Mac are going to stay tangled up as their lives just seem to keep colliding…
