Detectives Angelo ‘Bull’
Protettore and Tommy Delaney have been partnered up by the Chief either in the
hopes they’d get their acts together or screw up even more badly so they get
kicked off the force. Tommy has real anger management problems, but Bull is
still dealing with losing his fiancé to a serial killer. Just when it looks
like Bull is finally pulling his life back together the serial killer strikes
again and Bull is determined this time to catch him, no matter the cost. Tommy
agrees to help because on top of his anger management problems he has a real
problem with authority and playing by the rules.
Starting with a missing persons
case and ending with a lot of bodies on the ground I really enjoyed watching
Bull try to piece together a lot of various pieces of a much bigger puzzle to
find the serial killer. Intertwined with the case is a group of Dominatrix informally
known as The Style Mistresses who Bull thinks are involved in some way, so he
attaches himself to one of them in hopes of finding out more about the group.
Along the way he and Tommy learn a lot about themselves and solve the case,
too.
This was a great read! It
proceeded at a good clip, had a twisty plot and an interesting cast of
characters. The best part? It’s not completely over. While this part of the
mystery was solved there’s still a bigger mystery to unravel. I can’t wait for
Book 2!
