5.0 out of 5 stars
Good, character-driven cop novel
Abel's first at bat is a well plotted cop novel with complex character interaction.

Greatest Turn of 20th Century Fiction since that hack Joyce,
By MLR (Gambier, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bait (Mass Market Paperback)
This is amazing! The story centers around Walch, good cop goes bad, simple story, right? With Abel's knack for twists, Bait ropes you in. Read it. Put down Ulysses. Read it. This is the new Noir! All hail Abel!

You get to hear a lot about Jack Walsh and his goofy brother. He meets some other goofy characters that help him along the way. Then you get to the big ending. Anyone who has ever read a suspense novel can figure out the ending in this book. Overall, not a very good book (but that's just my opinion). :-(
