Review: Grabs you by the throat and throws you down...
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 19, 2014
A rough and tumble, head-smashing, throat-grabbing novel that features two very unsympathetic detectives who are thrown together and have to make the best of a bad situation. Some sympathy eventually arises as their extreme personalities evolve and mesh and eventually... well, I won't offer a spoiler here. Just know that this isn't the warm and fuzzy buddy cop movie you were anticipating. Vulgar and gritty and violent and often times outrageously funny, this story is adult oriented and not recommended for the faint of heart. It will, however, satisfy fans of Konrath, Crouch, and other indie writers who press the boundaries of the police procedural genre. Author and ex-cop Bernard Schaffer has rightfully joined their ranks and should be on the 'to read' list for those who like dark humor served with their action thrillers.
