Another book that puts Joe in the forefront and Cole hovering in the shadows, I wish since they are PARTNERS, they could be equals in the book. Joe's past comes knocking on the door, when a friend is murder in a home invasion. Quickly the cops believe his past is why he is killed but Joe seeks the truth. He quickly learns that it wasn't the family under attack but the nanny. It seems the nanny has a past through her family that is quite violent and disturbing. I don't enjoy reading about gun runners, government battles and such, so the plot didn't hold my interest.
