Overview

Bruno Johnson is a wanted fugitive—and unless he helps the Costa Rican police, they’re turning him in

Ex-cop, ex-con Bruno Johnson is hiding from US law enforcement in Costa Rica with his wife, Marie, and the twelve children they rescued from toxic homes in south central Los Angeles. Bruno works at the Lido Cabana Bar at the Punta Bandera Hotel, and his friend, Karl Drago, is getting married on the beach right outside. After the festivities, Bruno and Marie go skinny dipping in the ocean, but they’re quickly interrupted by a visit from law enforcement.

A shooting has just occurred at El Gato Gordo nightclub, and the victim is a prominent local figure and Bruno’s close friend. The chief of police asks Bruno to help investigate, but the stakes are higher than ever—if Bruno doesn’t find the shooter, the chief will turn him over to US authorities.

Everything is complicated further when Bruno becomes a victim of a crime himself, realizing that someone else may be after him. Bruno has to juggle the police investigation with figuring out who’s targeting him—if he drops the ball, it might be the last thing he ever does.

Review

Bruno and his family are living in Costa Rica. Bruno is a fugitive running from the law in America. He has a job as a bartender at a hotel. But when his close friend is shot at a local club, Bruno realizes his own life, and that of his family, may be in severe danger.

I have reviewed another in this series, The Scorned. And I rated it three stars as well. I think this series is just not for me. I like Bruno. But, this story is just a bit choppy and complicated. It just doesn’t not seem to fit well together. Now, this is rated very high among other readers. So, that is why I say this series is just not for me. Y’all give it a shot and let me know what you think.

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
