Trace Conger returned to the program to introduce a new series of thrillers that feature a former criminal named Connor Harding. This protagonist had been working for an organized crime syndicate in New York City when he suddenly decided to retire. Which begs the question; can a criminal really go into retirement like that? Is it that simple? Apparently it isn't.
Conger has written a propulsive novel that churns with energy and tension. Things move rather quickly and they get fairly crazy. I was really wondering if this guy was going to survive his series debut. He was thoroughly beaten up by the end. And as the story concludes we have a good sense of what Connor will be trying to do in the next book. He owes somebody a huge favor. Repaying that debt will not be an easy thing to do.
