best thriller

This is the best thriller I have ever read and I read quite a lot of them. I read it first in Italian translation and then in English, then I read it again in both versions many times. I read recently the tragic personal biography of the author and I was confirmed in my opinion that masterpieces of art are mainly made by troublesome persons. Best works I read, listened or saw were by suicidal persons. I can remember all works by Primo Levi (especially The drowned and the saved)or Stefan Zweig. In the thriller field James Ellroy and Dashiell Hammett. I don't know if they killed themselves but had many troubles. That gave them an uncommon depth and sensitivity.

Really Good Book....Go Out and Get It Today!

This is the second book that I have read from Montecino...this was his first book that he ever wrote apparently...and it was excellent! The characters were well done...I felt so bad for one particular character...Esther....she goes through so much...the only fault that I found was that I wish that the author would have focused a bit more on the relationship between Esther and Clarke Johnson....otherwise the book was great! Heartstopping...kept me guessing what was going to happen next....and in some parts it definately throws you for a few spins! I am going to read "Big Time" now...which is also by Montecino...... Happy Reading to all!

BUY THIS BOOK (and read it)

This is the best police thriller I've read in ages.... Well written, great dialoge and a totally uncompromising hero... read this book!

Fantastic Book!!!

I just read this book...it took me 2 sittings. Great development of characters. Page after page I was thoroughly interested in what was to happen next. I read about a book a week, and this one I would recommend to anyone. Looking forward to reading Montecino's other 2 books.

An erotic, scarry read. A challenge to the nerves.

Book shelves are strewn with novels featuring cops, killers and psycotics, but this novel is different. Who ever heard of a Jewish cop, in love with a black woman and hooked on Jazz. Yet this is the man the author has created to catch a racist, manical loner who's only ambition is to destroy without reason. The author artfully twists the many sub- plots around to bring the characters into each other's path. The entire book is an erotic and frieghtening urban nighmare that kept my attention until the final page.
