The Consequence of Loyalty

Trey Stone has managed to do something with this book that few authors have been able to do, surprise me.
I’m not saying that I know everything but when I read a book usually I can guess pretty well where the ending is going and whodunit. Trey stone managed to surprise me with his ending. At the end of this book, we find out that it is extremely well named. When I started out it seemed very straightforward. Two of the main characters were in the middle of a drug bust and were saved by the third member. Day done, everyone happy, they go about their merry way as much as possible for a team of cops in Columbus Ohio.
That’s when things go sideways. One of the members of the team is accused of and arrested for shooting his boss and we spend the rest of the book trying to find out if he did it and why.
At first, this seems like the American dream, to shoot one's boss, but as we delve further into the story we find that he actually has the utmost respect for his boss.
So what started out seeming very straightforward questions started coming up and as his coworkers try to unravel the mystery by delving deeper into his past, they find secrets that make them believe maybe he isn’t the man they thought he was.
Mr. Stone did a good job of keeping the intrigue going throughout this entire book. The characters that were brought in each seemed to have their own agenda and each one was made to look like they were involved in the shooting. Each character seemed to have their own past that made it seem like they weren’t what they appear.
It was very well done in keeping the reader on their toes. Keeping them wondering how many of the characters really were involved and what their motivation was.

A wonderful crime/mystery with a surprise twist ending that kept me enthralled the whole way through.
