My comments: This is the second in a series about Cyril Landry, a former Navy Seal who becomes an assassin for hire. I despised him in the first book, but the story was really compelling. I've gotten to like him a teeny tiny bit more in this second book - and the story is excellent. I really admire an author who can put this kind of intrigue together and twist a tale in, around, and backwards. Great storytelling! Looking forward to number three.
Goodreads synopsis: Cyril Landry has been a dead man since he escaped a firefight off the coast of Florida three years ago. In all that time, the former Navy SEAL has been living off the grid to protect his wife and teenage daughter, who have mourned him and moved on.
Five days a week, Landry watches from a distance as his daughter Kristal leaves school—his only chance to see her. One day a shooter in black unloads his M-16 on the students, killing eight kids—including Kristal’s boyfriend, Luke. Landry takes out the gunman with a single sniper shot before melting back into the city. But this wasn’t a typical massacre, and the clues add up to only one conclusion: someone knows Landry’s alive, and wants him dead—again. Teaming up with Detective Jolie Burke—a homicide cop who plays by her own rules—Landry must find a way to protect his family, and avenge Luke’s death.
In the second Cyril Landry thriller, black ops turn the world red.
