A truly enjoyable read! If you enjoy stories driven by characters, this one will not fail you. The characters are well defined and will feel familiar by the end of the story. The book goes along at a good pace and maintains interest throughout. And watch out for that plot twist!!! Give this one read -- you'll be glad you did.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Nash Chronicles. At first I was unsure of the book, but once I started reading I couldn't put it down. The characters in the story come to life and you can begin to understand the aspects of their lives. This book really gets into the lifestyle of law enforcement not what Hollywood wants to make you believe. The suspense the story creates keeps you hungry for more. The twist at the end is what I remember most about the book, but I won't give it away.
