Joseph Lewis – Blaze In, Blaze Out

Joseph Lewis is an author whose work I will always recommend. I have read some of his previous work and blogged about it too. This book is yet another success. A story that seems, on the surface to be about organised crime and hired killers. It is so much more than that, it always is when you pick up a Joseph Lewis book. Let’s have a look at the synopsis first.

Working with a joint multi-law enforcement task force, Detective Pat O’Connor infiltrated a Ukrainian crime family. Headed by Dmitry Andruko. O’Connor and his control, Detective Paul Eiselmann were the lynchpins in the guilty verdict.

The two detectives thought it was over.

Eiselmann planned for a quiet weekend with his family at home. O’Connor planned on attending a high school soccer game and then head to Northern Wisconsin for a fishing trip with another cop, Detective Jamie Graff and four teenage, adopted brothers: George Tokay, Brian Evans, Brett McGovern, and Michael Two Feathers.

But Andruko is ruthless and vindictive. From his prison cell, he hires two contract killers to kill both O’Connor and Eiselmann and anyone else in the way. The killers can be anyone. The killers could be anywhere, and the killers could strike at any time.

The quiet weekend and the short vacation turn into a deadly nightmare as O’Connor’s and Eiselmann’s lives and the lives of the four boys are in peril.

Joseph Lewis is an author who writes stories that seem to be just about crime, violence and killers. Once you scratch the surface of this book you realise it is so much more. It is about emotional issues, first love and even teenage hormones. I discovered just how deep and detailed Joseph Lewis books are when I read my first book by him.

The four boys adopted brothers have been in previous books and they have all suffered trauma, of varying degrees. This has marked them all in different ways to the point that I, as the reader didn’t want them to experience any more harm. I feel almost connected to them anyway as I have met them before. This is what had me holding my breath at some points.

I find every book to be such an action-packed and fast-paced read and Blaze In, Blaze Out is as good as Joseph Lewis’s other books, if not better. A story that is so much more than you expect with well-drawn characters that keep you turning the pages… I am so happy I discovered Joseph Lewis anyway.

Thanks to ZooLoo’s Book Tours and Joseph Lewis for the copy of the book.
