I love this book. Stephen Cannell never ceases to amaze me and this book is one of the best. Shane Scully is the perfect anti-hero and it was great to watch a little role reversal in his relationship with Alexa. I wasn't sure they would make it this time but they triumph in the end, so all is well. I can't wait for the next one!!
