From Publishers Weekly
This seventh entry in Newman's Joe Dante/NYPD series ( Precinct Command ) is the first to appear in hardcover, and it's a corker. Kansas City Royals rookie pitcher and phenom Willie Cintron looks as if he's going to knock the Yankees out of the American League playoffs--until he's found dead of a heroin overdose on the morning of the final game. The accepted wisdom is that Cintron's background (the mean streets of Washington Heights and a slew of drug-dealing friends and relatives) caught up with him, but readers know straight off that he was murdered, and soon enough a Daily News columnist, insisting that the ballplayer was clean, is raising enough pressure to bring Detective Lieutenant Dante and his partner, Jumbo Richardson, on to the case. In short order, the cops are in the thick of drug users, drug dealers grand and petty, a ring of car thieves, an assortment of media types and two femmes who are very fatales . The brisk action includes violence, some gore, more murder, interaction among the NYPD, DEA, FBI and New Jersey state cops and a dose of NYPD internal politics. It's all buoyed by the gritty feel of the city, the way cops talk and think and even drive. Readers may guess quickly which woman is the more lethal but, even so, they won't be disappointed by this fast, intricate, terrifically engrossing cop thriller.

From Library Journal
Young major league baseball pitcher Willie Cintron dies of a drug overdose on the morning of the final American League championship game. Although apparently accidental, Cintron's death raises questions, so NYPD lieutenant Joe Dante begins an investigation. Dante's efforts lead him into a maze of relationships involving Cintron's brother, a dealer in expensive cars, a beautiful television reporter, and a Chinese drug lord who is opening new territory in New York. Newman's novel, his seventh featuring the cool and debonair Dante, is a gritty and believable police procedural. The characters are a fascinating urban cornucopia; Dante himself is especially well rounded. Newman's writing keeps events moving at a crisp pace, yet he manages to incorporate impressive detail. Libraries that purchase crime fiction should seriously consider this title.
