From Booklist

*Starred Review* O'Neill blasts onto the crime scene with a brilliant vigilante novel that will please and surprise even the most jaded thriller fans. Jim Sullivan's military career was ended by a drunk driver; his wife was killed in the street; a pal at the law firm shot him; and while he was in the hospital, his house was burned down. Then they killed his dog. Three years and 80 dead drug dealers later, Sullivan is about ready to hang up his guns when a shoot-out with cop-killing arms dealers hits the Web, garnering him a trading-card series ("Captain Crack Attack") and his own task force to pick up the pieces left by an idiot FBI agent. The vivid cast includes a consummate bastard lawyer with a fetish for sharks, a duo of retired detectives with a great line of banter, a resourceful policewoman pursuing the man who saved her life, and a stoic antihero every bit as appealing as Lee Child's Jack Reacher. O'Neill's textured writing and smart dialogue are of Elmore Leonard's caliber, without the glib cynicism of many neo-noir knockoffs. Readers who make it through the bloody opening sequence are in for a fresh, original, and truly unpredictable ride. David Wright
