review 1: I loved this book! Good old noir/pulp sensibilities and action set in the present. This is about a ex-soldier whose army buddy asks him for a favor. His wife has been kidnapped and he could use his friend's weapons expertise and bravery to get her back. Then all hell breaks loose, I wouldn't dare reveal the rest. Non-stop action and grittiness, I devoured every page happily. This book was a ball to read, and I plan to read more Hard Case Crime books in the future - they're all short, in-your-face pulp reads.
review 2: I really wanted to like this, but it was just...bad. Or, I don't know, maybe I'm the wrong audience. I was hoping for some cool noir but what I got was a lot of blah blah blah about different kinds of guns. I didn't care about the charact
... moreers & the plot was just convoluted & boring enough that I really had trouble making myself finish it. The ending seemed tacked on. I'll probably try other books in the Hard Case Crime series, but I doubt I'll read anything else by this author. I plan to pass my copy of this along to my ex-husband. less

Great fast paced thriller. A really tight revenge noir, you like pulps, you'll like this.
