Title: Mackie Tops His Own Debut With An Even Better Read!
Product review: Author John Mackie was a decorated NYPD detective (he is now retired) but he is even a better writer. I thought his first book (Manhattan South) as good a detective novel as I've read but this one is even better. The Publishers Weekly review is so wrong. Mackie writes excellently about personal relationships; so much so that I actually had tears in my eyes over the tragedy in this novel. The first novel galloped along from the get-go, but this one is a slow build. I was impatient through the opening chapters but WOW! - When the action started, it was an incredible not-to-be-missed ride all the way to the last word. If you read "thrillers" at all (and even if you don't) this one will keep you turning pages. I was up 'till 3 AM; I had to find out what happened. Mackie is on my "must list" and I'll read whatever he writes.
