Summary: John Becker is one scary agent
Review: This is the second book I've read of the FBI Agent John Becker series by Wiltse. Becker's a troubled, on-the-edge sort whom the bad guys fear will go nuts and whack them just because he can't help himself. Sort of a disturbing characteristic to find in an FBI agent. Characterizations were excellent from the gangbanger street types to the hitman wannabe to the redhaired blushing female agent with the gun strapped to her thigh. Excellent

Summary: Goodbye to Becker?
Review: This seems to be the last of the Becker series which is a crying shame because this one, like all the rest, is sooo good. But then the four Wiltse books that preceded Becker and the two that have followed so far, the Billy Tree books, Heartland and A Hangman's Knot, are just as good. The important thing is to keep the guy writing, anything--and I've just read two of his plays and they, too, are sooo good-- You can read something about the plot in the other reviews, but why bother? Just plunge in and enjoy the crisp, unusual, abundant characterizations, the tension, the suspense, the excitement, the crackling, funny dialogue that are the hallmarks of the Wiltse books (and plays, too, as it turns out.) More, Mr. Wiltse, more! Please?

Summary: Dismal Plot and Characters Make This Wiltse's Nadir
Review: What I really want to know is whether David Wiltse is going to write more Becker books. I have really enjoyed this series and enjoy Mr. Wiltse's writing style. I would recommend Michael Connelly who I also enjoy greatly.
