SUPERBIA gets to the heart of what it must be like to be a homicide cop. It is both heart-stopping and heart-rending, and never lets up the headlong pace. Even the tedium of police work is thick with tension.Schaffer's narrative plunges the reader into a world where the choices between right and wrong are not always clear, and come with unexpected costs. Schaffer doesn't shy away from the brutal aspects of police work but the violence and pain are not gratuitous, they're the honest hard realities. The reader signs on for the ride with a conflicted and damaged cop who can't and won't just `go along.'This is street-level honest drama.
