Rating:  - favorable
This was a typical most entertaining work one has come to expect from W E B Griffin

All in all a great ... Read More
Rating:  - 30 Years Out Of Date!
Of course, Mr. Butterworth wrote these books before his very popular "Brotherhood of War" and "The Corps" series were published...but still, as a cop for over 20 years, it was hard to relate to such outdated procedures and attitudes. Once I got past that, I did enjoy seeing how his characters set the stage for their doppelgangers in Brotherhood of War...Peter Wohl=Craig Lowell, and Matt Payne = Geoff Craig, etc. If you are looking for excellent, accurate police procedurals, read the Harry Bosch novels by ...
