Pablo is a police officer who works in close association with ENDDAS, End Drug Addiction Services. As happening and riveting as his professional life sounds to be, his familial life is cordial and apparently peaceful in contrast, until a client of Pablo, Cassie, lodges a rancorous complaint against him that ruptures his otherwise normal life. The serious allegation leads to a chain of events in a life-altering way as the effect rapidly seeps into his personal life from his professional life.

With his marriage precariously hanging by a thread, Pablo finds himself in deep waters trying to navigate through the rough patch. While it may sound like a misadventure of a police officer, the plot is less about crime and more about the elements of marriage. The agony and pain of attempting to sustain a failing marriage, dealing with the heartbreak and mustering up the courage to let go is what livens up the plot for the readers. At times it may become a little repetitive but that only reinstates the shackled relationship of Pablo and his wife Delilah who struggle to break through their insecurities.

What intrigued me most is the expression of feelings through letters by the couple when they found it difficult to face each other and surpass their reservations. The author himself is a police officer and he uses his long term experience to provide a glimpse not only into the personal life of a fictious police officer, but several episodes of court trials and legal proceedings, making the turmoil more realistic.
