5 out of 5 stars
A very unique author!
There many good things to say about this book, the story is a 10/10, characters and character development is very well done, extremely intense and action packed with lots of plot twists, but the thing that I loved the most about the book is the authors way of writing. When reading this book, it feels like you’re sitting at a campfire with the coolest dude telling you this story. He adds little comments here and there that really make the book so unique and amazing. All over the book, these little comments never fail to make me smile or giggle. I really recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

    This is not cozy mystery, that said, this was well written. The author is retired law enforcement. It is a well written crime drama. The power struggle of Albanian gangs taking control of a female CEO in Boston. Carlo, the character has law enforcement background and plans an all out assault on the Albanian gangs. He brings in a crew of fellow law enforcement to accomplish this mission. The strategic planning of the final battle was in depth in detail, intense as the story builds. The weaponry planned for the mission was everything from law and military issue to "sci-fi" style. The novel is written from a male point of view. The language is crude and the violence is graphic! Good character development.
    I know the law enforcement officer that wrote this book, I couldn't believe he could write 4 novels! This was a hidden talent. He was tough and street savvy and a dedicated law man. I have all 4 books and plan to read the other 3. It was fun to read local street names and localities and landmarks, he paid homage to his hometown.

    Full disclosure, I love crime drama true or fictional. The book had a very easy story line to follow. No complicated characters that have you trying to figure out how they fit into the story. The author has a unique style of writing that draws you the reading into the book. Like you are sitting at a kitchen table talking about life stories with a group of friends. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep writing Mr. Cavazutti. You are fast becoming my favorite author.
