This novel gives off heat&there are a number of unique and startling plot twists. But what really recommends the book is the high-octane presentation&the occasional clunky sentence doesnt detract. Rather, they add somehow to the sense of urgency and authenticity, the feeling that this is the real deal, set down by somebody who was there and still hasnt gotten over it. The SWAT-like assault on the crime house is an impressive set piece. Booklist
