![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() This was a well-done police procedural in a series featuring Bruno Johnson, a detective with the Los Angeles Sheriffs' Department. Bruno is asked to go undercover on a narcotics team suspected of supplementing their income with murder-for-hire. But who can he trust? His boss, who gave him the assignment, but has a personal grudge against one of the suspects? Department leadership? Or Chelsea, an attractive female deputy who joins the team from Public Affairs, with no relevant background? Because all the characters are so flawed, I found the story a little depressing, but very realistic. The author's background in law enforcement was apparent; in places, the vocabulary was almost too technical. Less believable was the home-life complication with the baby. At the beginning of the story, Bruno learns he is the father of a biracial child when an ex-girlfriend dumps their two-week-old daughter on his doorstep and leaves, never to be heard from again. He was very fortunate that his elderly father and a saintly neighbor were so willing to step up and provide round-the-clock care for the newborn while Bruno took care of police business. The plot will keep the reader turning the pages. There's plenty of violence and twist after twist until the surprising end. Disclosure: I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway, with no obligation to leave a positive review. ![]() ![]() ![]() aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Booklist sums up Putnam's Bruno Johnson series: "Bruno Johnson believes so passionately in justice that he'll lie, cheat, and steal to achieve itâ??and he'll pulverize anybody who gets in his way." The Early Years: Book One Bruno Johnson, a newly minted LA County Sheriff Violent Crimes detective, gets the worst assignment possibleâ??infiltrate a sheriff's narcotics team that may be involved in murder for hire. Gain their trust and be brought into the scheme. If he succeeds, he will have to arrest and testify against his fellow deputiesâ??if he lives that long. To make matters worse, before Bruno leaves home on the first day of this assignment, he answers the door to find an ex-girlfriend. Without explanation, she hands him a baby girl only weeks old. The child is his. Stunned and terrified, he now faces immediate fatherhood as well as the traitor-like charge to take down his colleagues. Juggling his complex home life, Bruno tackles his assignment to discover that no one is who they seem to be and that his boss, Lieutenant Wicks, might be involved. His mission is further complicated when an attractive female deputy, recently transferred from Public Affairs, is also put on the case. She has no street experience, and Bruno carries the extra burden of watching her backâ??a tough assignment made tougher by personal attraction. As Bruno gets deeper and deeper into the corruption, he doesn't know whom to trust, and in the end, confides in the w Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
