Rcmp undercover agent Corporal Jack Taggart has avenged the murders of his niece and nephew, but the consequences linger. He now owes a favour to a dangerous crime lord, and in order to repay that favour, he has to risk not only his life and career, but a valuable informant in the Satan’s Wrath motorcycle gang. Meanwhile, someone is destroying the lives of people connected with Taggart in order to send him a deadly message. As if the bad guys aren’t enough of an obstacle, Assistant Commissioner Issac is becoming more and more suspicious that Taggart’s investigations of Satan’s Wrath have led him to commit murder. With Jack’s life and career on the line, Above Ground is a tough and gritty follow-up that will more than satisfy readers who are pulled into the dark Vancouver underworld by Loose Ends, the first Jack Taggart mystery.
