Move over, Jack Reacher and Kinsey Millhone: cast-iron bodyguard Charlie McCabe is back in Craig Schaefer’s gritty sequel to The Loot.

Hard-bitten bodyguard Charlie McCabe is lucky to be alive after her recent foray into Boston’s criminal underworld. So she’s taking no chances with this next job: protecting Hayden Cobb, key witness in the trial against a trio of murderous cops known as the East Boston Three. If Cobb drops dead, the Three walk.

After an attempt on Cobb’s life, Charlie suspects the Three have somehow put a hit on him from behind bars, and the assassin’s still at large. And when notorious loan shark Jimmy Lassiter is dragged into the mix, he retaliates the only way he knows how―by striking at the heart of her family.

Now it’s personal. With her father held hostage and her client in profound danger, Charlie must act fast. Far too many lives are at stake, and though she knows she can’t protect everyone, she’s gonna try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than the first!

I was so excited to see this downloaded on my kindle app. I have a few other books to be read, but I opened this immediately.

You don't HAVE to read the first Charlie McCabe book to enjoy the mystery and action in this book, but why would you skip that gem? It also does give character backgrounds that this book does not so I highly recommend starting there.

I think Charlie is getting better at detective work (even though that's not really her job) and at strengthening her relationships. Beckett is still a mystery but we learn some big details about his life. Dom is a big player in this book but her character didn't grow or diminish at all. Detective Glass shows some vulnerability and it's anyone's guess where things with Charlie and him will go.

I look very much forward to the next book in the series!

J: This was a pretty good story with quite a bit of action and suspense. However, 4 stars only because it became a bit complicated in spots. At the end it seemed that all of the loose ends were tied up fairly creatively.

This the time I’ve read a Craig Schaefer novel, and truly glad I chose it at random. The story line was great, and his introduction of characters flowed nicely. I read the whole thing in under two days, as it made me keep turning pages to see what happened next. I’m sure you’ll have the same reaction.

I loved this series. I’m so sad I’ve finished both books. I really hope the author writes more Charlie McCabe books. I’m so invested in these characters. If you are thinking about reading these books then just do it! You will not be disappointed.

I read the Loot first so I could become familiar with the characters. I thought it was ok.
I think this book is ok.
At least there wasn't a lot of foul language or sex.
There are some characters you really root for and want more of their story. I think Charlie and her friends are ok, but I won't rush to read the next book on this character.

The story line picks right up from the first Charlie McCabe book (but you don't have to read that first, though I highly recommend doing so) and as the story progresses with all of the action and impact of a Jack Reacher tale or Tom Clancy story you will find yourself caring more about each of the three main characters with each turn of the page. Can't wait for the third book to be released. Craig Schaefer has instantly become one of my favorite authors for go-to action with reality (even in his supernatural books, such as the Daniel Faust series).

Schaefer strikes gold again!
I’m absolutely loving this McCabe series, Dom and Beckett round it out for a solid trio who have each other’s backs and we’re not bogged down by rules or how certain scenes are meant to play out. I. AM. HERE. FOR. ALL. OF. IT.
Please please continue to focus on these newer characters, I don’t need to read about Faust anytime soon if we can continue this series and Ghosts of Gotham.

The second in the series of Charlie Mc Cabe books was another really good read. The characters are all well portrayed and have their own background stories. Would recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Schaefer Fan
Reviewed in Australia on December 22, 2021

Gripping story only spoiled by some of the more physics-related and tactical errors.
Example: no way would a trained marine and experienced killer fire a three round burst at a target, at distance, at night, in the rain, through glass in the expectation of a kill. Rapid single shots in succession is way more believable.
A 5'2 woman able to throw around and easily handle nearly every male opponent she meets? Extremely unlikely.
I'll not comment on the uber assassin. Fun but fantasy gone a bit too far.

I really enjoyed the first book in the series a wee while back. So I bought this one. Struggled to get into it (concentration issue due to PTSD) re-read the first book then devoured this one.

Well written, meaty story line and full of twists! A new favourite author
