Summary

Detective First Grade Brian McKenna and his partner Cisco Sanchez are chasing a killer that all of New York City is rooting for, a vigilante of supreme technical skill, physical power, and intelligence who signs himself "Justice." Justice is executing drug dealers, helping the police close unsolved cases, and providing those in need with stolen drug money - creating a nightmare for the police commissioner, the mayor, and the two detectives. McKenna and Sanchez must work to outsmart the killer, discover his next victim, and find out who is helping Justice in his quest for revenge.

Critic reviews

"Mahoney is a genius at transforming the details of the workaday police grind into a spellbinding thriller, and he is in top form here....When the vigilante's identity is finally unveiled, a fast-moving series of shootouts and heart-wrenching decisions make for a spectacular climax." (Publishers Weekly)
"[Mahoney's] intimate knowledge of the drug trade - including its mind-boggling financial structure - and his hands-on grasp of investigative technique mesh well in the eighth installment of this exciting series. (Booklist)
"Christopher Lane's well-paced reading [is] particularly effective in his depiction of know-it-all Detective Cisco Sanchez and his partner, Brian McKenzie" (AudioFile)

Underwhelming

I wasn't really sure how to rate this one. There's nothing particularly wrong with the book or the narration; I just left it with a feeling of being... disappointed, I suppose.

It's a police procedural novel, so I wasn't expecting any brilliance in crime solving or convoluted criminal plots a la Christie or Deaver, just the dogged determination of police officers hunting down their prey. And that's what I got. But the reason I chose the book in the first place was because of the description of a moral dilemma in the pursuit of a criminal who actually has sympathetic aims to the police.

This is a fascinating topic when properly handled but in this case it just sort of bumps along and the climax and ending are a total cop-out. Honestly, the morals of vigilantism are more fully explored in Batman.
