About this listen
Birmingham, Alabama, is a bustling city on the move in the era of Prohibition. It's a time of corruption, a time where it is tough to be an honest man of the law. Bureau of Investigation officer Francis Laurent finds that out the hard way when his partner and best friend August Day is gunned down in cold blood by a corrupt BOI agent and his gang of thugs during a high-stakes heist on the highway. When Laurent's commanding officer pulls him off the case without a good reason, this man of the law begins to suspect a cover-up and decides to take action to exact justice on those responsible.
Finding allies in unexpected places, his winding tale of revenge and redemption is told through the eyes of his estranged daughter Raina, as she nears the end of her time in a state medical institution. If anyone can understand Francis' desire to mete out justice and make the punishment fit the crime, it's Raina. She has more than a few of her own demons buried just beneath the surface when it comes to playing judge, jury...and executioner.

Extremely violent and action packed
I quite enjoyed the story and don't mind the violence being described in detail, it was needed, to be more realistic and interesting.
I found the way the story was narrated - in the book not the audiobook narrator - quite clever and made a fresh change to the norm, and the audiobook narrator did a pretty good job with the scene and character building, when it was available within the book.
The reason I have only given 4 stars across the board is that, in between the action, the dialogue was bland, and I constantly found my mind wandering from the book. I think it just needed to show more vulnerability in the characters, and not just sit with stereotypes, particularly the male characters. Most of the characters came across as a little too two dimensional.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review
