This is the best mystery book I've read for quite sometime. It is filled with twists and interesting characters. The ending was a total surprise. The book is written using dialog and it is so true-to-life that I couldn't put it down.

Galjan's many years in law enforcement (he retired as a lieutenant with nearly 30 years of service)enabled him to produce realistic (albeit not always "politically correct") dialogue and true-to-life situations in this tightly written detective story. He also draws on his Navy experience (two tours in Vietnam) to provide a great background story for the protagonist -- a Cleveland police lieutenant (could the story be, at least partially, autobiographical?).

Again, a very tightly and well written detective yarn -- I truly found it a book hard to put down. I recommend it.
