I WAS SO GLAD JOE GOT A NEW LOVE IF HE WASNT SO DECENT HE WOULD HAVE ALREADY RUN OFF WITH HIS NEIGHBORS WIFE, SECOND BEST HER SISTER. HIS LOFT I WOULD LOVE TO LIVE THERE THE STORY IS AGAIN GREAT ACTION, HUMOR, AND INTRIGUE, AND AN INSIDE LOOK AT THE NYPD ALWAYS INTERESTING. HURRY BACK JOE.

4.0 out of 5 stars Joe Dante is at it again, August 10, 1999

I love the Dante series. I wish Neuman would continue the series. I can't wait until the next chapter. This book reads well and keeps you wondering how it all ties in. Hurry up with the next one!

3.0 out of 5 stars Love Lt. Dante -- Disappointed with Hit and Run, April 8, 1998

By A Customer

I've read all of Newman's Dante series and have been disappointed with the last two outings. They don't seem to have the energy that the Midtown or Precinct titles did. I'd say this is a better than average book, the characters are compelling, but it is less than Newman is capable of.
