5.0 out of 5 stars SPELLBINDING!
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!

1.0 out of 5 stars stolen lives
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.

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.
