Vice — A.J. Lape

In the dark and dirtier parts of Los Angeles, justice calls for a detective who's very good at being bad. And an anti-hero who's the devil himself.

When a chance encounter with Rivera draws him into the middle of a sting, he jumps at the chance for a distraction. Problem is, he's a leader to an organized crime syndicate, and their day-jobs put them on opposing sides of the law.When stakes are high and bullets start flying, will they work together as a team? Or will that opposites-attract thing blow up in their faces?For fans of Bosch, Ballard, Reacher, and other crime thrillers, Rivera and Gutierrez are keep-you-up-at-night action that will make you get up and lock your doors.
