Black Diamond

Summary: How many carots?
Review: A jewler will tell you that there is no such diamond as a black diamond but Joan Wolf's new novel "Black Diamond" is a 75 carot gem. Even though her heroine is an amature slueth, she goes about trackin the killer in a suspensuly way. Her caracters are so well deascibed that a casting agent can just picture the actors to fill the roles an a motion picture production. A great read, hard to put dowh until you find out how she catches the bad guy.

Summary: Corruption Goes National
Review: In Black Diamond, I found it fascinating that the author was able to show that corruption -- police and crime -- in a distant city such as Los Angeles can easily be imported to even distant semi-rural areas, and then like a cancer, begin also to grow there. And that murder, for whatever reason, knows no regional boundaries. This book shows it all.
