If fiction were a baseball game, Bernard Schaffer would be filling the stadiumI read another of his books, Whitechapel, which imagined a duel between Sherlock Holmes ( a fictional character) and Jack the Ripper ( a real life bad guy who got away).This time, Schaffer moves from the 1800's to present day in the gritty police procedural, Superbia. Believe the other positive reviews.Really.Schaffer is just as comfortable writing fiction in the 1800's as he is in 2012.Superbia is a 'What If' about cops who go to work every day knowing they have to stand toe to toe with people who do not care about the rules of society. Be thankful they're ( the cops) out there.
