Fiction. Mystery. Thriller. HTML:Ali Reynolds and High Noon Enterprises face the dangerous consequences of one man's desperate search for revenge in this unputdownable thriller from J.A. Jance, the New York Times bestselling author who "has been delivering must-read books for a long time" (The Real Book Spy). After spending twenty years behind bars, Frank Muñoz, a disgraced former cop, is out on parole and focused on just one thing: revenge. The wife who abandoned him after his arrest, the mistress who ratted him out for abetting a money-laundering scheme, the detectives who presided over his case all those years ago�??they all have targets on their backs.

detective investigating the case focuses on B. as the most likely target and Ali as the most likely suspect, But things are a lot more complicated than that.

A corrupt cop has just been released from prison after twenty years. He is hell bent on getting revenge against everyone who put him inside and he has a long list of targets - his exwife, mistress and the cop he holds responsible.

Collateral Damage is the17th entry in the Ali Reynolds series by J.A. Jance. It is, like other books in the series, a complex and twisty thriller with a fast pace and plenty of action. It grabbed my attention immediately and held it right up until the satisfying conclusion. Definitely a compelling and entertaining read.

Thanks to Edelweiss+ and the publishers for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review

Funny how when your life is in a downward spiral you pick up a book and all your cares disappear. That's what happened with this book. J.A. Jance has written a wonderful Ali Reynolds book. Now she is not my favorite character of Jance's. Sorry - not sorry. I love JP Beaumont more but he's getting

old and I fear Jance may soon kiil him off - but I digress.

Revenge is a particularly nasty emotion that comsumes those who are not able to control their anger. The hate builds to a fever pitched agony and nothing less than death or destruction will suffice.as we see with Frank Munoz. This book has a lot of great people I felt drawn to - caring police detectives, a parole officer and her undercover agent, and victims of violent domestic abuse including the children who bear witness to it all.
