Description:
Keeping the streets safe can be murder on the knees.
Just shy of retirement and a well-earned pension, Las Vegas Police Department Sergeant Ron Yeager's definition of "active duty" involves shifting his bad leg into a more comfortabel position. But when he's requested from his mind-numbing desk job to head an undercover auto theft task force, the former narcotics officer determines to prove he's still got the right stuff. That is, until he meets his unlikely team of officers
As Yeager soon finds out, not all the crazies are on the street. An undercover rookie, the audaciously honest Mackenzie "Mack" Hazard sends Yeager's blood pressure skyrocketing by wearing her faith like an ever-present badge. Then there's Jesse Lunden, a maverick undercover officer who refuses to learn anything from an old guy with a cane. Can this tangle of egos and eccentrics be trained into a lean, mean, crime-fighting machine--even when they are being drawn into something much bigger and more dangerous than anyone imagined?
My Review:
Another winner from this series! More likeable characters who make me laugh out loud. More suspense than the first book in the series. More unashamed-faith-proclaiming Hazard family members. Mack is a little more "rough around the edges" than Hayden (from Scoop), but she is just as determined to be real and honest about her faith. So take this honesty and determination to always speak freely about her beliefs and try imagining such a woman in an undercover cop position. Not hard to see some sparks would fly as she ends up working with a cop like Jesse who does undercover with an edge and an attitude. Throw in the experienced boss of Yeager who has to get them to work together and a pastor who maneuers himself into the case and you get a interesting and crazy adventure as they try to bring down a car-theft ring!
Again, Gutteridge does a fantastic job of telling the story through the eyes of the characters around Mack. I couldn't put it down!
