Assessment:
Plot: This latest installment of the Mike Stoneman thriller series proves as exciting and gripping as previous plots in the bigger picture. The idea of revolving the story around injured, and even murdered, policemen is a fresh twist on the typical mystery scenario. The narrative feels mature and proves engrossing.
Prose/Style: This fine mystery/thriller contains level pacing, diverse vocabulary, and a storyline complicated enough to hold one's interest. This will be a page-turner for any fans of the genre.
Originality: The fact that at least two cops are killed in this book, and another is badly hurt, is quite an original spin on these types of mysteries. New partnerships form and roles change, but the action continues.
Character Development: The primary police officers, Mike and Jason, prove likable, and are showcased as quite human in their motivations, achievements, and flaws, as does the character of Michelle. After Mike has been badly hurt and finds himself in long-term rehab, and is dating a doctor, he begins to get in touch with his feelings, a contradiction to the stereotype of cold, overly violent cops.
