Enemies Closer

Jaded police detective Mike Palmer has been trying to take down suspected bank robber Donovan Carter for 18 months. However, this pales in comparison when Mike's ex-wife threatens to take their daughter away to another country, and he needs a lawyer to fight her for custody. Mike turns to Donovan for money, and is enlisted by him to help pull off his next heist.

Donovan has his own problems too. Desperate to keep his crimes hidden from his wife, he is stuck under the thumb of a dangerous gangster who is forcing him to perform the heists to pay off a debt. As the former adversaries work together on Donovan's biggest heist to date, they also have Mike's partner Jade Edmonds closing in, hoping to take them down.

This plot is twisty!

The author did an amazing job of fleshing out his characters! When you think something is bound to happen, he gives it a great twist and the opposite occurs. Very well done!
