A one-man crime wave is shaking the peaceful city of Santa Maria, California, and no place is safe.

Story
Ensor is no ordinary cop. He's a hero, winner of the Medal of Valor, devoted family man and coach, helping at-risk kids. But the driver who struck him down and didn't stop isn't ordinary either. He's Judge Frank Stevenson, up-and-coming member of the bench, also devoted to his wife and daughter, involved in charities and good works. In a split second he did something completely uncharacteristic that changes his life and the lives of everyone close to him.

I hated the way it ended
The story was good, it kept you interested but if there is not another book that picks up where this book left off then it left too many loose ends. Unanswered questions of how things turned out. I hated the ending.

Amazing Operation...
...but, far from perfect, including the lead man. I like this performer. Did not like 95% of the characters at all, including judge Nash. Intense story line maybe not totally plausible, was entertaining. A lecherous cast, w/ the whitehats having great intentions. Did not like abrupt ending. Woods' stories so far are pretty unique.

A Book With No Ending
This book had a WTH (what the heck) ending. I mean, was the good judge going to be arrested? The book moved slowly. It lacked excitement and was a bit boring from time to time. I didn’t care for any of the characters. It ended stupidly, or should I say, it just didn’t have an ending. The narration was okay. The vocabulary level was good, thank goodness.

Drops off a cliff
I’d read a few reviews
where the reviewers complained the story comes to a clumsy end. I thought to myself, this can’t be true. Well it is. It is as if the author lost interest or had to meet a deadline. There are quite a few threads that are left unresolved. Given the attention to detail the author takes in the first 28 chapters, the ending uncharacteristically glosses over a lot of these threads.

Good listen, ends quickly without closure
A lot of build-up in the story, making you think certain story lines will make a return and be explained later; sadly no. Many possible ways this could've ended, to where you start rooting for the judge, but ends abruptly with almost no closure on any aspect. Not sure if he was hero or villain, moral or immoral, a good parent or just a screw-up. Maybe author's intent, but left me feeling the show got cancelled after a really good pilot.
