Description

The bodies of high school and middle school kids are found dead from an overdose of heroin and fentanyl. The drug trade along the I-94 and I-43 corridors and the Milwaukee Metro area is controlled by MS-13, a violent gang originating from El Salvador. Ricardo Fuentes is sent from Chicago to Waukesha to find out who is cutting in on their business, shut it down and teach them a lesson. But he has an ulterior motive: find and kill a fifteen-year-old boy, George Tokay, who had killed his cousin the previous summer.

Detectives Jamie Graff, Pat O’Connor and Paul Eiselmann race to find the source of the drugs, shut down the ring, and find Fuentes before he kills anyone else, especially George or members of his family. The three detectives discover the ring has its roots in a high school among the students and staff.

Advance Praise

"Excellent read! I have been awaiting the next book from this author and was not disappointed! I couldn’t stop reading and was caught by several unexpected twists in the plot. A must read!" and "This novel is one of hope. It speaks poignantly to the diverse composition of what we can call family. It also speaks to the complexity of motivations---some dark and some good--- that drive those in our world. If nothing else it underscores the adage that appearances are deceiving. A great read."

Reading like a news item than a novel a hard hitting of two cops/child overdoses, and the hidden or ignored enemy that is MS-13. Prepare to enjoy and be EDUCATED of what is living in our neighborhoods.

I normally avoid books where children are the victims but I thought I would be OK with this one but I admit I struggled at times with some of the subject matter.

Middle and high school children are dying from overdosing on heroin and fentanyl. This sounds like the beginning of a normal good guy/ bad guy crime thriller but it is a whole lot more intricate than that!

At times I found it hard to follow this story because it is extremely involved and a bit confusing. I found that frustrating but persevered and did enjoy the book on the whole. The story was very well imagined but for me lacked a slight bit in the execution because there was just so much information conveyed. Overall though a good book that has a great storyline.

I loved this book, even though it was uncomfortable at times. This is very well written with many characters. A lot of in-depth history of characters. Very heartbreaking at times with the graphic killing content. If you can't take bloody situations, you may not want to read this. Drugs are a bad scene, in this book it is mostly about middle and high school kids getting caught up with drugs and bullies and a lot of death. I would recommend this book, it does have a great story line. The end threw me off cause I had no idea who was at the root of all this turmoil. Great Job by the Author.

MS-13, heroin, Fentanyl, revenge, death .... one would think this story was ripped out of today's headline news. But this is fiction .... and it takes the reader into dark places that most of us have never seen and never want to.

Junior High and High School kids have been found dead, like litter thrown to the side of the road. The drug trade is active and busy. The kids are dead of overdoses. Someone is cutting in on the MS-13 business and no one wants a drug war. But there's more than just drugs at risk here. The man MS13 sends to shut down the interlopers into their business and teach them a lesson wants way more than that. He wants one particular teenage boy who killed his cousin.

Three detectives .... Jamie Graff, Paul Eiselmann, and Pat O'Connor .... are charged with finding the drug ring, the drug lords, and putting an end to them. What they never imagined was how far down the roots are in the schools, students, and even staff.

When it comes to kids and illegal drugs, I cannot actually say I "liked" this book. Vicious gangs, school bullying, graphic violent scenes and dead and dying children, and the sexual escapades of young people make this an uncomfortable read... especially to a mother of now-grown sons.

It's like an accident on the side of the road .... you can't help but look as you pass by. This was a well written, riveting read ... one that's hard to put down once started.

Many thanks to the author / Books Go Social / Netgalley / The Crime Book (FB) for the digital copy of this crime thriller. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

Loved the quality and depth of the characters. Found myself thinking of them long after finishing the book. Writing it tight, action scenes tense. A superb page-turner. I like this author.
