review 1: review by Robert K. Swisher Jr.Cole is like all of us, more than a little flawed, lost in a world of his own making, starting all over in his career at the bottom of the ladder instead of the top, and wondering what happened to the one love of his life, which, of course, he blames himself for losing. This is the second Cole Sage Mystery I have read, both of which I enjoyed immensely. Real people, real problems, a great mystery, dialog that is not strained or pretentious - as soon as you think you know what is going on there is another twist in the plot - keeps one turning the pages. Give Cole a try, you will not be sorry.
review 2: A tale of regret and coming to terms with it told in a very well-put-together way.Cole Sage is a newspaper hack working for the Chi... morecago Sentinel, having worked his way down from a top-flight award-winning career with The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Time Magazine. The fire had gone. Then the love of his life, the woman he let slip away, contacts him asking for help. And so his path back to caring begins.The story encompasses diamond smuggling, money laundering, horrible husbands, sincere cops and eager journalists, the forgotten residents of nursing homes and a crook with a good heart. Beginning with what Cole believes is the simple matter of making sure his ex-love is cared for while she succumbs to a terminal illness, he soon finds himself on the receiving end of threats and a beating.Maxwell knows how to keep his readers interested, unfolding the story evenly without any dips. I liked his fleshing out of the secondary characters as well as the primary with, among other things, natural dialogue. Combined with a fluent use of language and good plotline it made for a well-rounded story. One I enjoyed.This is the first book in the Cole Sage series. less
