Publisher's summary

Bruno Johnson, shaken to his core, is still a formidable force - he has an unrelenting focus on doing the right thing - and is unwilling to let anyone or anything stand in his way.

Pushed to his emotional limit, Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputy Bruno Johnson struggles to hold his family together while immersed in his unrelenting career. His daughter, Olivia, is a teen mom to twin toddlers; her common-law husband, Derek Sams, is a thug; and one of their little boys has disappeared under his care.

The overwhelming intensity demanded of Bruno on this personal level is compounded by the brutal shotgun murder of a superior court judge and his wife, both friends of his. Bruno cannot ignore these violent crimes even though he's supposedly off the law enforcement grid - undercover - working an illegal gun sting.

Tragedy strikes Bruno's life on all fronts: family, friends, and professional - however, none of these colossal forces can match the unthinkable catastrophe that will forever dominate Bruno's life.

Perfect for fans of Robert Crais and Michael Connelly.

Bruno Johnson series is intriguing

A lot has happened in the lead character’s life but Bruno Johnson prevails through experience, self-examining his actions and empathy for others. Finally got used to the new narration compared to the first book.

Clearly, David Putnam’s street cop experience comes out in this series making these stories stand out from the genre which usually focuses on detective work.

This is a Great Ride

This series is so exciting that I can’t wait to get to the next installment. Written by a Cop inspired by his adventures in his law enforcement day’s. At the end of each book so far. The author explains the actions of the true story.
Great Job David Putnam !!!!!
