I become whatever they want. Whatever they need.Seattle Chief of Detectives Mort Grant is still reeling from losing his daughter—again. When Allie first walked back into his life, breaking years of silence, he could hardly believe his luck. And after hearing her story, Mort tried to do everything in his power to keep her safe. The only person he trusted with Allie’s life was The Fixer. But, for the first time, The Fixer let him down.
Now Mort has been called in on a gruesome murder case: a beautiful young woman found in a ravine, her body riddled with stab wounds. Within twenty-four hours, the police uncover a snuff film depicting her murder, the killer’s face always just out of shot. When a second body and video are discovered, Mort knows this is no ordinary case.
From a chain of sleazy payday loan shops to the dark underworld of the sex-slave trade, Mort’s chasing a twisted menace to hell and back. But he’s not the only one. Once again, The Fixer is on the hunt—and she’s desperate to make things right.
HUBBY'S REVIEW:
The fixer is back and this story starts out a little tame. You are not sure when or if the fixer is going to appear. Seattle Chief of Detectives Mort Grant and his team begin this story with discovering a body and find out the girl is from a snuff film. While this is going on he is dealing with the loss of Allie, his daughter who was taken away by a revival drug lord after he killed her lover and partner and the fixer could not save her because she did not want to be saved. She continues to be a reminder because now she is setting up bank accounts for her twin nieces and other things that neither her brother nor sister in law want. She also pays off her father’s boat and fees for docking. This makes the family more upset and while this is going on another body shows up. So now as much as it pains him he goes to Lydia and asks for her help. He does apologize and though he wants her help he wants to make sure that the fixer does not appear and that they get the person who is responsible for these murders the right way. She helps but when one of her patients goes missing she is wanting to do more. The same time that all of this is going on you also get to see what is happening to his daughter and what she is doing and how it goes with the story. There are two stories in one. Of course as much as they want to keep the fixer hidden it is hard to do that but the way the author brings her out towards the end of the story really makes this book. The last part of this book has so much going on that it makes for a great read. I got this book from net galley. I give this 5 stars.
