Publisher's Summary:
Bruno Johnson, a tough street cop, member of the elite violent-crime task force, feared by the bad guys, admired by the good, finds his life derailed when a personal tragedy forces him to break the law. Now he's an ex-con, and his life on parole is not going well. He is hassled by the police at every opportunity, and, to make matters even more difficult, his former partner, Robby Wicks, now a high-ranking detective, bullies him into helping solve a high profile crime...unofficially, of course.
Meanwhile Bruno's girlfriend, Marie, brings out the good, real Bruno, and even though they veer totally outside the law, he and Marie dedicate themselves to saving abused children and creating a type of underground railroad for neglected kids at risk - disposable kids.
What they must do is perilous as they take matters into their own hands, battling a warped justice system and Bruno's former partner, who has his own evil agenda.
Members Reviews:
Reminiscent of "City Confidential" with true to life characters.
Excellent book! I want to hear more about Bruno when he was a BMF! It was like watching a movie. The suspense and characters were clear and concise in their roles. The anger of the characters to Bruno in what he had done to land in jail accurately described their emotion of disappointment in one of their own. Putman made me feel like I wanted to be a character in his book to meet Bruno and help him, Marie and Dad with their efforts to change the future. I wanted to be someone he could trust! I loved this book with the details of the city and landmarks.
Bruno's skill in putting everything together in his head, with his absolute toughness and his intellectual prowess was magnificent. This book needs to be a movie and don't leave a detail out. Everything clicks together. The cover does not give you an idea of what is inside so download it and read it, If you love reading about the way the police work to battle city crime, read this book!
Ex-cop wrecking ball tries to do the right thing
Author Dave Putnam dogs this story like his lead character dogs his missionâwith relentless momentum. Bruno Johnson, an already-damaged protagonist, has a plan. Itâs a flawed, seat-of-the-pants, hopeless plan, but Brunoâs all in, and heâs corralled his girlfriend and his dad into supporting it, at great risk to themselves.
Once part of an elite detail of supercops attached to the LA Sheriffâs Department and reminiscent of Gangster Squadâa cowboy contingent that holds itself above the law and operates in the grey area between the good guys and the criminalsâBruno is now an outsider. He has a prison record and a profile, but he still has his cop instincts and training, plus the street smarts he picked up on both sides of the law.
The authorâs experience in law enforcement shows in the brush strokes on every page. He gets the cop mentality, the criminal mentality, the shabbiness of the LA streets, and the goofy logic of not only crackheads and lowlife hustlers but also the bureaucracy called Child Protective Services. Then you get lines like this: âI pull the trigger without remorse . . . I give (him) a third eye to help him see his way to hell.â
Friends become enemies, enemies become allies, and everything unravels.
