While this is the eighth book in the Bruno Johnson series, it was my introduction to the character. This book also takes place in the earlier part of Bruno's career. Here he is an LA County Deputy Sheriff, working undercover.
Bruno is living with his father, after the death of his daughter, Olivia, under suspicious circumstances. The law has removed Olivia's children and placed them in a foster home, while the father of the children is still dealing drugs. Other things are going on, but I don't want to spoil some of the plot that is slowly revealed throughout the story.
Bruno's life and the lives of those he deals with, both in law enforcement and on the other side of the law is violent. Putnam reveals enough of the details of Johnson's life so even a new reader won't be completely lost. By the end of the book, I immediately wanted to learn more.
