An exciting start to a great series

This novel about a cop named Antonio Burns is a wonderful and quick read. I could'nt put it down and have now read the entire series. Each installment is equally as good and I highly recommend all of them. The characters are brought to life in such a way that the reader feels like they are real people. Writing style and plot are wonderful. No downside to this novel at all.

Completely Enjoyable Climbing Thriller

I enjoyed every page-turning page of this rock and mountain-climbing thriller/mystery. For me, the writer compares well with favorites such as Dick Francis. McKinzie's love of climbing (and of his dog) shine through. Yes, the narrator is super-human (doesn't bother me, I don't want to read about ordinary people) and some plot turns may be inevitable or contrived, but even so, the genuine voice of Ant and the supporting good guys carries it for me. Yes, I do have a niggle, perhaps at the editors as much as anyone. (I hate nigglers, but I can't resist. Sorry.) The crescent moon does not rise in the east at sunset. And I suspect that stunted , high-altitude trees are not oxygen-starved.

Don't have to like the genre to love this book!

Clinton McKinzie has made me a convert to thriller/crime/adventure stories. He truly has a gift for shaping character and plot, drawing you in to encounter people you care about in situations that are simultaneously extreme and realistic. I recommend his work to a variety of readers; it's a page-turner, a great escape into a world where McKinzie is the expert guide. The story may also encourage you to give climbing a try!

Breath of Fresh Air

EDGE OF JUSTICE was slow getting started for me but once it picked up my interest, I was hooked. Anton Burns is a breath of fresh air. He's not a supercop, but a mountain climber/peace officer in exhile. I can't wait to read the prequel to find out why he is in exhile. I recommend this book, highly. It was more realistic in that Burns went through ALOT of trials and tribulations and I loved that he wasn't some supercop who could control each and every situation he was in. Often, the injustices that occured were very fustrating to read but realistic regardless. I think this book would appeal to those who are tired of the same ole thing. Characterizations were strong and memorable. Look forward to his next book.Keishon

This will keep you on the edge of your seat !!!

I'm still not sure whether I'm more inpressed with the author or the novel! Allegedly, this is the author's first novel. However, the enduring excitement McKinzie's story provides keeps the reader unable to close the book. Clinton McKinzie has a style most authors are lucky to perfect over a life-time. I eagerly await the already planned prequel. McKinzie's career will be watched with great interest.
