Fast-paced and action packed, Rosslyn Station is a harrowing thrill ride filled with suspense, violence and determination. F.X. Regan has leveraged his extensive law enforcement experience to deliver an exciting and authentic story about a young, strong female detective and her progression through the ranks that culminates with a non-stop, knock-down, drag-out mêlée against a ruthless gang.
Fairfax County Police Detective Sergeant Kiki Diaz is on the Washington D.C. Metro traveling to the federal courthouse to participate in the prosecution of Jose Garcia, a MS-13 gang leader arrested for human trafficking based on Diaz’s undercover operation. However, Diaz quickly realizes this won’t be a normal commute as she recognizes several gangbangers enter the train and dozens more congregating at various stations. After Diaz gets involved in a shootout at Rosslyn Station and unsure if she’s the target or a bigger plot is in play, she must outwit and outmaneuver these dangerous individuals as they chase her through the D.C. and Virginia streets, subways and airport. Not knowing what’s happening or who to trust, Diaz must use her skills to thwart the nefarious plot and fight her way to her original destination to ensure Garcia faces justice for his crimes.
With the introduction of Kiki Diaz, Regan has entered a strong, capable, badass female detective into the thriller-verse. And the manner in which she is presented is compelling, alternating between the present-day brouhaha and past events of the last 10 years to show her progression from the academy to trainee to patrol officer to detective. It’s an engaging way to find out about Diaz’s background, learning about her past piece by piece and interwoven with the current crisis in which she finds herself. Resulting in a journey back and forth through time that propels the story forward with a desire to learn more and understand how her past will help her succeed in the present.
Unrelenting and anxiety filled. Intense and adrenaline fueled. Rosslyn Station is a dynamic and entertaining novel easily consumed in short order. The start of an intriguing new series that should be on everyone’s watch list.
