Review of Down to Zero by Henry Carver
Mack is a cross between Jack Reacher and Strike (of Cuckoos Calling). His leg was blown off in Afghanistan and he is ex-cop/military. He is also addicted to pain-killers, trying to kick the habit and also helping others from the military in their Opiate Replacement Treatment Program. He and his homeless friend Ginger come in contact with a vicious killer Talal. Because Ginger takes Talal's silver briefcase when an altercation between cops arises, Talal is out to get the briefcase back. He finds Kira who is Mack's paraplegic sister and threatens to kill her if Mack doesn't come up with the case. This story was a thriller. A lot of gutsy moves by Mack and his sister. Very interesting and exciting book. Highly recommend.
