Bruno Johnson was a super-cop, a member of the elite violent crimes task force, when personal tragedy forced him to break the law. Now out on parole, Bruno again steps well outside the law when he and his girlfriend, Marie, take perilous steps to rescue abused and disposable children.

This novel gives off heat&there are a number of unique and startling plot twists. But what really recommends the book is the high-octane presentation&the occasional clunky sentence doesnt detract. Rather, they add somehow to the sense of urgency and authenticity, the feeling that this is the real deal, set down by somebody who was there and still hasnt gotten over it. The SWAT-like assault on the crime house is an impressive set piece. Booklist
