5.0 out of 5 stars
Neil Hockaday series starts out with a bang!, May 12, 2004
This review is from: Sea of Green (Hardcover)
"Sea of Green" is the first book of the Neil Hockday series, and it is a great book. Hock, as he likes to be called, is a detective for a part of the New York City police force called SCUM(Street Crimes Unit Manhattan). Hock is assigned a case where he is supposed to protect a well-known black preacher named Father Love. Soon, he delves into the death threats, and finds a vast underworld that is invisible to most New Yorkers, and this underworld is up against unscrupulous real estate developers who wish to destroy their homes. Add a few dead sleazeballs, and you have a great mystery, with a shocking twist at the end. This novle is also funny and honest as it pokes fun at New York, and at certain politicans(like Bush), and businessman(check out the Trump clone in here). read this book, you'll love it.
