I have read many a detective yarn over the years. I am one who likes such writings, and they are my main source of reading entertainment. Many authors I read are famous for such books of suspense. In my opinion, John Coyle's book is one of the most interesting and intriguing I have ever read. I sat and was mystified at the intelligence and elegance he used as was he wove his story. It is pure entertainment and I hope he continues to create more in his genre of writing. I purchased five copies and have them as gifts for my friends who like such detective yarns. Beyond a doubt, this is one of the best and most interesting I have read. The story is intriguing and very unusual with lots of sub plots and twists to it. What is great is his inside knowledge of investigations due to his years of experience in the LAPD. It is like a new version of a Wambaugh.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes and loves a good story and I would hope some movie type picks this up and uses Mr. Coyle's book as the basis for a movie. It is a natural progression to the screen, as it is that good. Kudos to Retired Detective John Coyle!

It is easy to fall in love with the meat eating, cigar smoking protagonist, Sully. John Coyle takes us through a whirlwind of crime and deception in this fantastic piece of fiction based in Los Angeles, California. The plot is fresh and intriging while not being over the top. This easy to read page turner will not let you down!

This book jumps right into the action and keeps your attention until then end. I especially like the strength and intuition of Sully's wife, Meg. I'm looking forward to the next big case.

The book was excellent reading and kept me very interested. It was a good mystery, crime, cop novel.
