Funk Rating: 9 out of 10
Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I had someone like Joe Pike in my corner. Someone that I knew would always back me up, no matter what; someone who would always be there. Someone to whom loyalty is absolute, and if you called and said "help," he'd be there in, in the shadows, keeping you safe from the bad guys.
Now, that's kind of silly, since my life is so vanilla. I'd never need someone like Pike. I wouldn't ever be in a situation requiring lethal force or with my life at risk (at least I like to think not). And I've got some great friends who would certainly be on the next plane if I ever said "help." But they would bring laptops, blackberries, checkbooks and smiles instead of guns :)
But, regardless, perhaps you get the point. This is a great story about unraveling a mystery, protecting your friends, and taking care of business. Bad guys have expiration dates when one of Pike's guys gets killed in a home invasion that isn't a random home invasion. Obviously Pike gets involved, and you're off on the ride. It's a great read if you like your avenging angels!
Best book so far this spring/summer. Enjoy it!
