THE VENDETTA (Hardcover)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
One good cop. One part-time hooker. Both dead. Michael Griffin is a cop. Narcotics. Tough as nails. The man you want at your back when things get bad-the man to avoid if you are bad. His friends have been murdered; one tagged a suicide, the other discarded like yesterday's garbage. But Griffin values his friends, doesn't sort them by race or profession, and he wants justice. True justice. If he can't get it from within the system, he'll take his game out of bounds, rules be damned. The Vendetta is the story of Griffin's pursuit of renegade criminals responsible for a string of brutal murders. Cops and mobsters, wives and lovers, hookers and dealers-meet them all as Griffin plunges into the murky depths of the underworld. Street-smarts and gut instinct put him on the trail, pure determination keeps him alive when he becomes the hunted, and don't-give-a-damn courage carries him through to the end of his quest. "Tyler has penned a mystery-thriller masterpiece. It's got it all: drug dealers, the mob, prostitutes, strippers, bikers, murderers, traitors, and a courageous and talented team of street cops?all told with such authenticity, wit, page-turning realism, and edge-of-your seat suspense that it would make you swear the author must have worked the dark streets of this very town as an undercover agent himself. Not for the faint of heart. It's HOT!" Robert Gelinas Author, The Mustard Seed

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything crime fiction should be, June 1, 2008

By	Mary Menzel "Reviewer - www.AllTheseBooks.com" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In "The Vendetta" Michael Tyler has given us a front row seat into the world of cops, drugs and violence. In a rural North Carolina town Michael Griffin is a cop taking each day as it comes until a fellow cop and good friend's death is ruled a suicide. Griffin knows without a doubt that it was murder and engages in a one man war against those responsible. Michael Tyler's experience in law enforcement gives him the ability to write with realism and accurately portray life on the streets. The interaction between the characters in the police squad is reminiscent of the members of Ed McBain's 87th Precinct. The language is rough, the violence is gory and the plot is tough and intricate.... just the way it is in real life. "The Vendetta" is everything a crime fiction novel should be.

This book is great! Once I started reading it, I could not put it down.

The author must have a lot of experience as a narcotics cop.
