Dramatic Events!

Whether they make sense or NOT! I can't figure out how someone like this author can spend a career in law enforcement and not have learned attention to detail. I got to 33% and got fed up. DNF

La vida de Max Freeman cambió una noche que no olvidaría jamás. La noche en que mató a un niño en defensa propia durante un tiroteo en Filadelfia. La noche en que dejó de ser policía.

Max is also working for Billy Manchester, a black attorney that he also grew up with in Philadelphia. Billy is working on a case of cruise liner employees who are being threatened by stand over thugs,

I found the story a bit slow in the beginning. The author seemed to need to fill me in on some details that I already knew even though I have only read #1 in the series. This story has many strands and both Max and the serial killer speak in the first person, which initially takes a bit of careful reading,
