Reviewer - Wende Sheets

The date is May 24, 1985 and we see Alex Hollick along with his division Robbery team involved in a high speed chase. A chase that will change their lives FOREVER. Alex's team is investigating robberies dubbed as the "SOCAL armored truck" robberies. Unfortunately the lose of lives brings to light a new evidence one that has a price. 

Alex who is in fear of losing his job finds himself with a promotion that lands him in Quantico, Virgina. Alex will be a robbery division instructor. After stepping foot off the plane, things change, Alex is kidnapped, tortured, drugged and beat half to death. This is where the story picks up and doesn't disappoint ! Alex takes a walk on the dark side of the FBI.

I LOVED reading about Alex, he is a strong character. The story spans over 6 months and spins a tale that was like a roller coaster ride ! It makes you stop and remember that no everything is golden, there is shady things that go on behind the FBI world. The author did a wonderful job with the mystery and suspense and did not disappoint with the romance.
