It's been 3 years since the last Max Freeman book. While this is just okay as a stand-alone, I don't think a first time reader of this author's will enjoy it nearly as much as those of us who have read the entire series.
In short, Max is an ex-Philadelphia cop, now working as a Private Investigator for a friend / very influential attorney in Florida. When a whistle-blower contacts the attorney for help, Max is drawn into a case of Medicare fraud.
Max's investigation leads to a world of drugs and to a drug dealer from his own past.
The mystery/suspense part is kind of tame ... not the usual kind of work I've seen from this author.
Most of the book is centered around his relationship with Detective Sherry Richards .... who lost her leg in a previous book. She has now returned to work, but it takes a toll on them both because now she's stuck behind a desk, rather than working the streets.
Again, if you're a follower of the series, this relationship is very interesting. If you're a new reader --- not so much.
Max is a great character ... he has grown so much since 2002 when the series began.
I strongly recommend starting at the beginning for an enjoyable reading experience.
