Summary: A terrific read!
Review: I was personally disappointed with the ending, but I can't fault the author (I like happy endings!)The good thing about this novel is pace! The author starts out at about 60 miles per hour and gradually increases the pace to the speed limit! He sustains interest and I could hardly put this book down.

Summary: Yawn.
Review: If you're interested in the everyday life of a cop, maybe this book will be of interest. But remember, each day in their lives can't be filled with action and adventure. To that end, this book delivered -- there was little action and the "adventure" was ...well, yawn..... The cop, Jack, was a selfish man that was always thinking of himself first, his wife and everyone else, last. There was some action, but not enough to satisfy my taste, and the adventure...well, was there "really" any? If you've got nothing better to do, and I mean nothing, this book may be worth the read. I only finished it because I had paid for the unabridged audio version and it was thus, being read to me. Otherwise, I think I would have given up on it. If you're wondering why I rated the book a "4" instead of lower, it's because the book had it "moments." A few, but they were there nonetheless.

Summary: Gave up on it
Review: Read to page 115 and completely lost interest. Not much here to keep you interested. Cop stories are worn so thin. Not a good book for your library.

Summary: Daley has the cop-thriller genre down to a fine science
Review: The character development in this novel rates with the best of Daley's works. By the conclusion, one can almost feel the bullets flying at the protagonist and the results are virtually palpable. Daley has the ability to transform what, in many ways, is a rather pedestrian environment into an exciting and adventure packed story, with a heavy dollop of sex and romance thrown in to add to the mix. In this novel, he contrasts the gritty world of the New York street cop with the very different world of the French Finance officer, while showing the real parallels that exist in any law enforcement environment. As an ex-cop himself, he really knows his subject matter, but makes it immensely readable. It is a treat to be both entertained and educated in the workings of the police world. A great read

Summary: Not bad, but annoying hero
Review: This book wasn't awful, but not great either. Like another reviewer, I listened to the audio book, and therefore finished it. (Dick Hill's reading improves even the most boring books).My complaint was the character of the hero. It's hard to care about such a blatantly selfish person. There was no one in this novel to really care about. There was some decent action, though.
Rating:
Summary: Not Daley's best, but still pretty good
Review: This one dwells more on the characters and relationships than most of Daley's work, but is nontheless a good read. It details the nuts and bolts of detective work and political interference in a concise and interesting story. Daley's lead characters are frequently flawed, dislikable people, not unlike many one encounters in real life. It is part of the overall realism which is one of the major strengths of Daley's works.
