5.0 out of 5 stars SPELLBINDING!, May 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The First Directive (Mass Market Paperback)
A fan? ABSOLUTLY! After having read this one, I'll read all the others. This book is simply intriguing, exciting and romantic. If you're a mystery buff and thought you've heard it all, you haven't! If you're a fan of Joseph Wambaugh, you'll love Joseph Mcnamara!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reading!, March 5, 2001

Barb (Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: First Directive (Hardcover)
After reading this book about police detective Fraleigh with his 2 sidekicks, I couldn't wait to read the other two books he wrote with them as characters. I've read all three and enjoyed them all. If you like a police mystery, you'll like these. Joseph McNamara was a police chief in San Jose, having started his career as a rookie in New York City, so he's had day to day experience to draw from.

1.0 out of 5 stars stolen lives, August 9, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The First Directive (Mass Market Paperback)
Interesting, if not for the truth that Joseph D. McNamara, Ph.d, obtained his stories from the files of the internal affairs while he was in charge of the police department of his former employer. Did not come from his imagination or intellect. Good ole "Joe Mc.", when it came to choosing between the Right Thing or the Political Thing; can you guess which "Thing" he chose?
