This is a book you will not want to put down. Jack Barker was a tough cop and seven years in Folsom Prison made him even tougher. And now that he was out he has just one goal. He has to find and eliminate the enemy from his past who murdered his daughter and threatens his grandson. His sixteen-year-old grandson Jeremy is in witness protection hiding from the maniac who murdered his mother, but Jack is not satisfied. He tracks Jeremy to a Foster Home in the Sacramento Pocket Area and poses as a crossing guard near the local high school to keep an eye on the boy he hasn't seen since he was a toddler. No one can know his identity, not even Jeremy, as it might lead the killer to the boy. What Jack did not expect was how quickly he would become attached to the kids he shepherded across the street each day and how quickly they would come to depend on him for protection from the gangs and predators of the rough neighborhood. It becomes a story of intense love and brutal violence as Jack and his ex-partner Chastity Ortiz search for the criminal genius who threatens Jeremy while Jack takes on the gangs and misfits who threaten the kids he has come to care for. The tension builds steadily until we reach the explosive climax that you will never see coming. You will also learn to look at our problematic Foster Care System in an entirely different way.
