Title: Doesn't hold together, far from Patterson's best
Review: Hey I love Cleveland and wanted to love this book. But the mob/big money/politics connection is about as obvious and hackneyed as plot devices come. Also the key clue that finally pulls everything together is laughably convenient and unbelievable. And why is Marz the one who finds this all important clue? No cop or homicide detective would have found it before her. Come on... The surprising best part here is the love story betwen Marz and her little helper. If it weren't for that, the book would fall completely flat.
