POSSIBLE AND PLAUSIBLE

This book is my first experience with Barbara D'Amato and I want to read more of her novels. GOOD COP, BAD COP certainly brings back memories of Chicago (I live near) in the turbulent 60's. I remember well the Democratic Convention of 1968 and the Fred Hampton raid in 1969. The novel's characterization of the Bertolucci brothers is true-to-life, and the entire scenario is too plausible to be ignored. Is this historical fiction? Probably not in the strictest sense of the word, but it gives the reader a feel for the ways things were done then and how people can still suffer in the aftermath, even after 30 years. A good, fast read.
