I received this book through early reviewers having never read any of Mr. Hurwitz's previous work. I am now a huge fan and plan to go back and read his other books. This book was amazing with great characters (both good and evil), a great plot (though a bit unrealistic at times), and a pace that leaves you breathless at times. His writing is the quality that makes you feel part of the story and in this book that is quite scary at times. The story is about Mike Wingate who after a hard childhood (in which he was abandoned by his father, raised in a foster home, and was involved in petty crimes) is now a husband, father, and is beginning to make it as a green builder. When all seems to be going well, he and his family are targeted by powerful people who want him out of the picture. Who can he turn to for help in finding out what is going on? He turns to his friend, Shep, from his foster home days who lives his life as a safecracker, is street smart, and as loyal a friend as one can have. Can Shep help save Mike, his wife Annabelle, and his daughter Kat from those seeking to destroy them and in the meantime find out what Mike has done to cause their wrath? I strongly recommend this book!
