5.0 out of 5 stars
One of my all-time faves,
By
This review is from: Close Pursuit (Paperback)
I have read a boatload of police procedurals, but when I think of "the best," "Close Pursuit" immediately springs to mind (as does "1199"). One major difference between this novel and others is that Stroud spent a lot of time with NYPD detectives, then--instead of writing a straight non-fiction book--he adapted what he'd seen and learned into a fact-based fictional novel. The other major difference is that while most procedurals focus on strictly one case from beginning to end, and the climax of the story is the closing of the case, "CP" picks up in the middle of a mess of cases and leaves you with most of them still unsolved. Just like real life.
It's solidly entertaining and a worthy read. My only question is, why the William J. Caunitz-esque paperback cover art? Not that I haven't read and enjoyed Caunitz, but it's too good a book for that.

This review is from: Close Pursuit (Paperback)
A talented author takes a look at a homicide detective. Interesting but lacks real movement. The author improves greatly in later efforts.
