The author takes you on a journey of a Dearborn Michigan police officer, Jack Dylan, and his involvement in attempting to capture a white supremacist. Jack, the chief, received word that the group was attempting to steal sarin gas, which is extremely deadly. The groups plan was to attack the police of Dearborn. The white supremacist wanted revenge for the officers arresting their leader in a previous terrorist attack, which was the bombing of the Islamic museum and local mosque.
There are endless twist and turns in the attempt of catching the groups leader, Barton Breitner. In the process of closing in on Barton, Jack was arrested for murder. Was Jack guilty? Did he really commit murder? If he is innocent can his lawyer, Zack Blake, clear his name? Was Barton ever captured? Were the officers able to stop the stealing of the deathly gas? If you are wanted to find out the answers to these questions, this is the book for you.
This book allows the reader to get inside an officers mind. The betrayal to one another, the need to capture the criminal, and the thought process of how to execute the plan. Can all officers be trusted? You would like to think you can, especially since they are the ones protecting us as citizens. Some cops are good and some just want to do what is best for them, not necessarily the right thing. This book proves that. Whether a lawyer is defending the state or the defendant, they are in it to win it. Is it always the right thing to do? Should the lawyer go to whatever extreme to win a case?
I loved that this book had such detail in the process of a crime, arrest, and a trial. It gets the reader involved in the process. It was a constant twist and turn on every corner. There was not anything about this book that I didn’t like, except that it was over, I did not want it to end. I became invested in the characters and the trial.
