text review of MADDOX written by Eva Carmichael
The 2nd Book of the Maddox Series

In Karl Maddox’s world, trouble doesn’t knock - it kicks the door in.
When dancers mysteriously go missing from The Emerald Phoenix, Karl is certain a ruthless property developer, anxious to get his club, is behind their disappearance. Then an overseas client is found dead in an apartment rented by Karl’s partner, Joe Stevens and rumours begin to spread as the pressure builds.
Karl doesn’t know it, but the police are watching his every move as he chases a high-yield scheme that promises quick money. The only problem with the scheme is he will be in partnership with a former adversary. An adversary who is both ruthless, and treacherous, and with whom he has unfinished business.
As his enemies close in, Karl is forced into a brutal reckoning.
Some business can only be settled the hard way.
