Sixth in the series of thrillers featuring John Reznick. As expected our hero displays all his maverick qualities when his daughter is the victim of a hit and run driver. Although the story rattles along at breakneck speed the plot is hampered by the irredeemably evil villain, who comes across as something of a pantomime figure .

That said, the series itself is worthwhile but the law of diminishing returns make this far from the best episode.

A political thriller that has some serious thought provoking material.

Jon's world is thrown upside down when his daughter is a victim of a hit and run. It's even more so when he realizes that the country he's fought hard for and loved is going to abandon his quest for justice. What will he do?


I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Sometime since I have had the pleasure of catching up with Jon Reznick who seemed to be enjoying for his a relatively quiet life, until an incident that personally involved his family leads him back in the solving crime in his own hard hitting way.

DAMN, I just love this series and this book was brilliant! Jon gets a call with the worst news ever. His daughter has been knocked over in a hit and run. Honestly, as soon as I read that I just KNEW that Jon Reznick wouldn’t let it lie. Reznick is a brilliant character, a little stereo typical as he doesn’t take kindly to orders etc but one that I absolutely love. With his daughter’s life on the line he has absolutely zero regard for the law and as such starts to plot his revenge.

This book had me from the first page and there is plenty of action to sustain the pace. Added in to the fact that Meyerstein makes a return as well as the Hacker who Jon uses (who I definitely think should make more appearances). We also meet Detective Acosta who is working the case and she makes a welcome addition to the story. I had a suspicion I knew where the story would go but that didn’t disappoint me even when I was right. I also love the fact we get to see a side to Reznicks daughter that we hadn’t seen before which will definitely make for interesting future books I think. I read this in one day and absolutely loved it, can’t wait for the next one!

JB is quite prolific. I can see why he is popular. My first JB book, and he is obviously talented. Good tension and suspense with unpredictable situations. I enjoyed this overall and will check out some others.

I really appreciate the copy for review!!

I didn't realise this was part of a series but it reads fine as a standalone. I loved it that much I've downloaded the whole series. I loved Jon Reznick, his fight, not quitting until he got justice not letting anyone stand in his way of making the culprit pay for knocking down his daughter, Brutka being a diplomat gave him immunity but Jon fought hard against all the agencies to make him pay.

I enjoyed reading this book. It had a good story to it. I liked the variety of characters in it. It is my first book read by this author. I hope to read more books by this author.

The sixth book in the Jon Reznick series is the first novel I’ve read by Mr. Turner, and it definitely won’t be the last. When Jon’s daughter is struck in a hit-and-run by a Ukrainian diplomat, the fuse is lit in this dynamite story. Jon’s Delta experience and FBI alliances don’t seem to matter as the State Department steps in to protect the guilty. As the evil of the diplomat is revealed to be even greater than this one incident and his abuse of diplomatic immunity becomes flagrant, Resnick’s resolve grows to the point that he takes matters into his own very able hands.
