Loved the Ending

I started off seriously not liking this installment in the David Sloan series. I truly didn't like him getting attached to Barclay Reid. However, as the story progressed it kept me reading and involved. I liked the introduction of characters from the Tracy Crosswhite series, i.e., Crosswhite, Rowe and Cerrebone because it just made the story even better. The ending is what truly made this book for me because David Sloan truly won once more. Robert Dugoni does it again! Looking forward to the next and last in the David Sloan series.
