This is the second in a series involving Ty Hauck by the author Andrew Gross. At the end of DARK TIDE, Ty had become involved romantically with one of the key players in his investigation. In the new novel, he ends that relationship, and hooks up with another woman who is a witness to a crime which is fundamental to his inquiry. The new novel begins with Ty and his daughter at a convenience store one morning, and while standing in line to pay for their purchases, the store is sprayed with automatic fire, and the man behind them is brutally killed. At first, it was thought to be a random 'drive-by', but after much sleuthing, it is determined that this was an attempt to cover up a huge corruption scandal during the Iraq war. Millions and millions of American dollars were diverted in a public works project, in this case, generators, to aid the Iraqi people. A very interesting angle, and I am sure that this is grounded in truth. Another interesting read, but not great, however I would certainly be more than willing to try another by Andrew Gross.
