Detective Tom Moon and his multi-talented team face off against an international crime ring looking to seize control of America's most vibrant city, Miami. The city of Miami is Detective Tom Moon's back yard. He's always kept it local, attending University of Miami on a football scholarship, and, as a Miami PD officer, protecting the city's most vulnerable. Now, as the new leader of an FBI task force called "Operation Guardian," it's his mission to combat international crime. Moon's investigative team discovers that the opportunistic "Blood Brothers" -- Russian nationals Roman and Emile Rostoff -- have evaded authorities while building a vast, powerful, and deadly crime syndicate throughout Europe and metropolitan Miami. Moon played offense for U of M, but he's on the other side of the field this time. And as the Rostoffs zero in on a target dear to Tom, they're not playing by anyone's rules.

An enjoyable James Patterson novel, focusing on different issues but still with the same core elements all of his books have. Tom Moon was a likeable character, passionate about his work and caring more about the victims of crime rather than FBI bureaucracy. Hanna Greete, a Dutch criminal running a human trafficking scheme, was a very well-written character. I loved the various layers from her obvious criminal mentality to the just as obvious love she holds for her family, daughter Josie and brother Albert. Overall, this novel does not rank as highly for me as others by Patterson, lacking the same level of excitement and unexpected turns I am used to, but ultimately it was still a decent novel that I enjoyed reading.
