Roddy “Mad Dog” Dolan, a prominent surgeon and his childhood friend, Danny Burns, an accountant are on the run. Danny was shot while sitting in his office. Next, a doctor who resembled Roddy was shot and killed. They do not know if these actions were related to the events of the past year involving their silent partnership in a restaurant or something else entirely.

As with the first book, the story takes place in a short time frame, but it feels slow. There are a lot of repetition of Roddy’s reminiscing. The characters are somewhat developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. Again, as in the first book, Roddy spends a lot of time reflecting on his childhood and his time with the Army Rangers. I liked the concept of the story but felt it could have been delivered better. I enjoyed this book more than the first book.

Roddy and Danny, though from different backgrounds, are unexpectedly the hunted. Someone is after them and they wonder why they have become prey.
Unfortunately, though well written, this book was not for me.
I do thank the author, publisher and Netgalley for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Suspenseful with many twists and turns.
Many thanks to Thunder Lake Press and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.
