Description
When an innocent child, a daughter, is taken away from police Lieutenant Dylan Akers, he enlists the help of his longtime, but estranged friend, Beau Rivers. The men joined the police force as the best of friends, but the friendship ended abruptly in the following years amongst the aftermath of Beau's self-destruction. Can this tragedy bring them back together and reinforce the bond?
Dylan hopes Beau will help him obtain justice. Justice no matter the cost. Is his request too much to ask of a friend, a fellow cop, especially when it involves murder? A previously unknown fact comes to light, and Beau is committed to righting this wrong, no matter the consequences.
Together the pair step from behind the Blue Line to avenge a child’s death, all while under the watchful eye of a determined Internal Affairs commander as well as their fellow officers.

As you would expect, there was plenty of police action in this book. What you don't expect is the length to which two people (even if they are police officers sworn to protect and serve) would go to make sure justice is served when a heinous crime is committed against a child. Strained relationship aside, Beau Rivers and Dylan Akers are still old friends. The raw emotion between these two "brothers" in this book is amazing. It is definitely one of those "can't put down until you're done" books.

WOW! JUST WOW! One of the best books I've read this year. It's very evident that the author has a background in law enforcement .... and I have no doubt that if anyone could pull off the perfect crime, it would be him.
Officer Beau Rivers and Lt. Dylan Akers used to be best friends. They went through the police academy together, they each became an extended family member. But Rivers did something despicable and the friendship dissipated into the wind.
It's been 10 years since they've spoken and now Rivers is standing outside Akers' front door. What waits for him inside is beyond terrible. Akers' 12-year-old daughter was abducted, raped, murdered, and then thrown to the side of the road like garbage. Her funeral was that morning.
So begins a story of love and hate, revenge and justice, condemnation and forgiveness.
The plot is extremely well written with lots of surprises, some big, some little. Lots and lots of action. Characters are finely drawn. This one had me hooked from the first page.
Many thanks to NetGalley / Southern Yellow Pine Publishing for furnishing the digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. This was the first I've read from this author and I had a hard time putting it down. It's always interesting to me when throughout the book can see how the past has dictated the present and even though it was may not have been the right choice I cheered for Dylan and Beau throughout the story. Thanks for the opportunity!
