Synopsis

Right up until they put him in jail, McKenzie thought the cops were kidding. After all, he did them a favor by stopping a rookie cop from roughing up a distraught woman at a murder scene. But the next thing he knows, he’s in jail, missing an important date with his girlfriend and reliving nightmares he thought he had left far behind him—and vowing payback for all of it. If that means sticking his nose into an ongoing murder investigation, well, he’s done it before.Only what appears to be a straightforward case of a cheating boyfriend, his alcoholic girlfriend, and an opportune baseball bat proves far more complicated than the police are willing to accept. More disconcerting, as he investigates, McKenzie finds himself fighting the influence of a shadowy figure who controls more of what goes on in the Twin Cities than a rational voter would believe. Then there are the unidentified thugs who kill a witness and rough up him and his female lawyer ally. Soon McKenzie realizes that the truth of this sordid crime may be as hard to find—and as hard to live with—as the justice he seeks.

Another fine offering from David Housewright's, Mac McKenzie series. I'm reading these in order and this is my fourth. All are very well written and thoroughly captivating.

Goodreads review by Diane on February 28, 2023

I'm a big fan of this series featuring Rushmore (Mac) McKenzie, a wealthy former St. Paul police detective who now does "favors" for friends. These favors inevitably get him into trouble (he ends up in jail here by page 3) and even though he's a tough guy, he also usually gets his ass kicked at some......more

Goodreads review by Debra on November 27, 2023

Oh my. I have no idea how the author comes up with these situations. I live in Anoka County so I found the things taking place there pretty funny. Well, maybe funny is not the correct word, you will have to read the book to see what I mean. The ending was really not what I was expecting and it really......more

Goodreads review by Catherine on October 12, 2020

Another Mac book, this time he gets involved in a case because the small town Minnesota cops are violent and jump to conclusions. Sound familiar? We have so far to go when it comes to how we allocate dollars related to keeping the peace. In any case, the woman who is accused of killing her boyfriend......more
