review 1: This was a well-written crime novel. I gather it is part of a series featuring Frank Behr, a former cop/investigator now working for a "white-shoe" private security company. He is chafing at the bit with this job, but his girl friend his pregnant and he needs the salary. When an attempt is made on a client's life that he is guarding, the story gets set in motion. Although I found it to be somewhat convoluted and muddled in parts, it's basically an intelligently-written story.
review 2: This book has been sitting on my shelf for a few years, and I couldn't remember why I hadn't read it. Got several chapters in before I realized that it was the 3rd in the series, and I hadn't read the 2nd one. Oh, that's why. I just engaged in my pet peeve of reading books out... more of order. *sigh* As for the book itself, it's ok. The fact that it's set in Indy made it a lot more interesting to me than it probably would have been otherwise. The bodies really start stacking up later in the book -- just a warning to anyone bothered by that. It's not a shiny, happy tale. less
