A Mysterious Review of Full Ratchet by Mike Cooper. A Silas Cade Mystery.
Review summary: The potentially engaging storyline starts strong but is quickly sidelined by the nearly nonstop activity that dominates most of the narrative and isn't revisited until the closing chapters. This is an exciting, if also seriously flawed, action thriller but as a follow up to the far better first (and previous) book in the series, it's rather disappointing.

Full Ratchet
Mike Cooper
A Silas Cade Mystery
Viking (July 2013)
Publisher synopsis: Needing a respite from Wall Street, tough-guy auditor Silas Cade jumps at a job opportunity in western Pennsylvania — but finds that Main Street is just as dirty.
The job seems easy enough — check out a Pittsburgh manufacturer and file a report — but Cade quickly discovers corruption at every level. His revelations catch the attentions of hair-trigger Russian mobsters and a blonde assassin named Harmony. Cade's estranged brother is dragged into the fray as the tension builds to bullet-riddled showdowns across defunct steel mills, forests, and Appalachian fracking fields.
