"A terrific debut—fast, tough, and hard, shot through with hard-won authenticity and deep humanity . . . Don't miss out." —Lee Child

No one gets hurt is a fine plan. A worthy goal. But when it comes down to the moment, there's always plenty of hurt to go around.

Afghanistan vet Dexter Grant is broke, reeling from PTSD, and on the verge of divorce when he's approached by his old Army buddies to help rescue their former interpreter, the man who once saved Dex's life. It means ripping off a vicious queenpin's drug proceeds—but not to worry, they have it all worked out. And if anyone can pull it off, it's Dex's former team lead, Staff Sergeant Saenz.

Tempted by an easy score that could make his own problems disappear and imbued with new purpose, Dex agrees to play his part. But just as in combat, the best-laid plans don't survive first contact with the enemy. When the heist goes off the rails, Dex's wife and daughter become targets for bloody revenge. Dex must face down his spiraling inner darkness and call on all his strength and training to save his girls. In his quest, he'll learn there was much more to this heist than he ever imagined.

This was a really great listen. We see through the eyes of a father and husband how the memories of war can damage the human mind. We see the test of friendship and the unconditional love of family. The conflict of trying to figure out the right thing to do as the story unfolds and how to decide who you can ultimately trust kept the suspense going until the very end.

Heartfelt and suspenseful.
