Back in Slowly — Grant Patterson

The sequel to Southern Cross: A Will Bryant Thriller.

Rio de Janeiro. Underneath the tanned bodies, the scorching beaches, the sex and the sounds: a seething discontent and ever present violence. While the postcard city preens as the Olympics approaches, a struggle for control

erupts in the favelas.

This isn't Will Bryant's city, and it's

definitely not his fight. But if he wants to

save his family from financial ruin, he has no choice but to team up with his unpredictable Brazilian cop partner Edilson again.

The mission: retrieve a former colleague now missing in action. And everyone's coming to the party; a ruthless drug gang, a vigilante force, and the legendary BOPE commandos.

Rio. Sometimes it's just too damned hot.
