4.0 out of 5 stars
Baker is a writer who deserves more attention!, July 19, 2006
This review is from: King of the Streets Pb (Sam Taylor Mysteries) (Paperback)
Investigator Sam Turner has his hands full. He is investigating the murder of a worman's ex-husband, a CCTV operator and, unbeknownst to her, a blackmailer. He is also helping the widow of a good friend, and helping Gordie, the orphaned young man Sam took under his wing, deal with his first serious relationship. But the biggest threat is from a pair of stroid-enhanced body builders working for the local gangster.
Baker knows how to create a fascinating cast of characters. Even his bad guys are ones you won't soon forget. He also knows how to balance humor and humanity with menace and cruelty. There are major and minor plot lines but they all entertwine to make this a very enjoyable book. I definitely feel Baker is one of he many authors who deserve a much wider readership and recognition they they have.
