Night Game (A John Marquez Crime Novel) Book

Second in the series with Marquez inland looking for bear poachers. This time he has a new team and a new boss. Same MO as the first. Dedicated and indefatiguable agent and his team up against a resourceful and violent foe who threatens families of the agents. Also the same plot device of working with a local cop who has his own agenda but less confrontational than the first book's local cop. I liked Marquez in this book more than in the first. The plot is fast paced but the resolution at the end is too violent and perhaps unrealistic-almost like narco-violence. It's realistic in one sense that the perpetrator seems to get away with murder and cops minor pleas. Marquez is a go-to guy who always keeps his cool whether it's dealing with scumbags or the spineless bureaucrats in Sacramento. Going to have to read the third one.
