There's action, strong characters and dialogue that transports you into the heart of New York city. Like his "Officer Down" and "Retribution," I couldn't put this book down. He's better than Wambaugh!

This review is from: Line of Duty (Hardcover)

I found it very real, suspense-packed, mixture of cop life and duty. Insecurities, pay-offs, circle of deceit, lies, dirty money, everything is interwined in this excellent book from the pen of the connosseur of the "inside life".

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly accurate! Almost scary it's so good, June 26, 2011

I was hooked once I started this book and couldn't put it down. The book is so accurate in how it describes the life of a police officer and the story is intense. I could not believe how well Grant described the life and emotions of a police officer. This book is awesome.
