However, unbeknown to him, his actions are to initiate a sequence of events that will ultimately threaten the lives of his entire family. It is often said that there is a fine line between those that enforce the law and those that frequent the criminal underworld. As events escalate, as boundaries become blurred, how will Adam react? Will he trust the legal system to protect his loved ones or will he be forced into doing something that goes totally against his nature? Follow Adam's journey, feel his pain, and discover which side of The Rubicon he chooses to walk. From the author of "Reflex Action," this is the second in The Crime Collection series of books. A British crime/fiction thriller.
