review 1: This book didn't pique my interest until I was about halfway through it. I only wish the author would've written the entire book with the intense fervor which he successfully accomplished in the second half of same.The author has chosen Henry Parker, a newspaper reporter, as the main character in his novels. Henry is attempting to learn who killed his brother. He recognizes it has something to do with his brother's elevated involvement in the distribution of street drugs. He's assisted in his investigation by a friend in the NYPD.A brusque female who works as a reporter for a competitive newspaper comes to him describing how she was kidnapped for a brief period & forced to write an article for her newspaper concerning the potency of a new street drug. They told her th... moreey would kill her daughter in college if she failed to do so or if she went to the police about it. Henry finally concludes that since the drug was so new on the streets, the reason for the threat was because it would be a form of free advertising in a column by the city's most widely-read reporter.During his investigation, he learns that young men in the corporate financial sector, who recently lost their jobs due to the economy, were being recruited to distribute this new drug & others. The recruiters felt these men, who were instructed to dress in business attire, would not give off the appearance of someone distributing drugs. They were promised a pay equal or better than their previous positions, allowing them to maintain their standing in the community. Most of their customers were business professionals.Henry eventually learns that those behind the operation were a small group who worked closely together when America was attempting to oust Noriega during the 80's. Among them were 2 brothers, one of which was killed in Panama, after which the other brother assumed his identity. A female was in this group & in control of marketing the drug, with a supply that would fill a football field.Henry & his pals corner them where the huge cache of drugs are stored, leading to multiple deaths & a hairy ending.
review 2: Local: Manhattan/New York. Fast paced, action packed. Professional desperate men in financial ruin due to today's economic hard times are drawn in by the lure of fast easy money. Drug related crime novel packs a whollup. This novel is preceded by The Fury, I didn't read it and enjoyed this just fine. He covers what we need to know from the prequel. In this one Henry Parker, journalist for the NY Gazette and his mentor Jack O'Donnell, his girlfriend Amanda and his buddy cop Curt unravel evil in New York, BIG time. Satisfying conclusion. less
