Although part of a series, COPACABANA is a good stand-alone novel. The author does an excellent job of portraying the characters. John is still learning the ropes when he gets the chance of a lifetime. For better or for worse, John jumps on his chance, and it spirals out of control. Pete is a thug with a soft spot for John. Although he's comfortable in his lifestyle, he has higher hopes for John. While the story deals with high level crime, drugs, and murder, the author inserts the delicate issues of friendship and loyalty. John and Pete are more than just friends. Their relationship began when John was a child, and so Pete, the cold-hearted thug he is, finds himself looking out for the one person he cares for.
