This is a quick read, not to be savored but skimmed. The eponymous protagonist has carved out a role as a go-between whose clients want to buy and sell items privately for a variety of reasons, most of them illegal. He's a smartass with a superiority complex, almost a central casting call when you're looking for someone like Bull on the tv show, or Tony, his predecessor on NCIS. The dialogue is occasionally snappy, but getting to the final page feels like it takes forever and makes you realize you just wanted a chunk of time you'll never get back again.

A very engaging tale of a man who has built his own life in the 'grey' areas. This is where there is good and bad, and he finds a way to make a good living staying on the outskirts of either.
A man who uses aliases when needed, always watching his back, keeping a keen eye on those he associates with to sell what one person has to the person that wants it.
This is an excellent story, as the one person he works with is killed during a 'meeting', leaving him to figure out what happened and to avenge his friends' death. He travels smart, using people he can,to collect the information he needs. But, is he using them, or is it the other way around...
There are Agency workers, police officers and regular folks, with the author mixing things up so you keep turning the pages through the twists.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to more from this author.
I received an ARC of this story from Netgalley, the author Brendan DuBois, and publisher Midnight Ink,all of which I thank and am happy to give my thoughts to you.
