This gets two stars because it evoked in me enough curiosity about what was going on to persist to the end. But it certainly left me not ever wanting to read another book by the author. For one, the prose is cringe-worthy. It uses epithets like "the beautiful raven-haired informant" rather than us...
A more honest book than Foster's [b:Interlopers|35178|Interlopers|Alan Dean Foster|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1168575840s/35178.jpg|35115], which I still have to review.
I have been reading the Shane Scully series for many years, so it was hard to read this book knowing there would only be one more book. I love the way Stephen J. Cannell has written Shane's character. We have seen him evolve over time. I enjoyed the interaction with his new partner Hitchens. Just st...
The narrator, Dick Hill, bumped this up to three stars, otherwise I'd say it was below average.
Detective Shane Scully and his wife Alexa respond to a call in the Hollywood hills at a once-immaculate mansion, the scene of an infamous murder twenty-five years prior.

First, Emo Rojas a sheriff's deputy and friend of Shane's, is gunned down while serving a routine search warrant. His fellow d...
I read this entire book in one day! I have read a lot of the Shane Scully novels, and this is one of the best yet. The plot is complex and original, and very exciting. All of the little pieces of the story keep your interest as you try to fit them together, with little bits of information revealed...
Another good, exciting installation in the Shane Scully series. Fast-paced and fun to read, as usual.
The Bodine character sets this book a step above the other Shane Scully novels. That guy, to me, is laugh-out-loud funny! A good, fast-paced read, typical Cannell style, with lots of excitement and violence and a little touch of far-fetched. But what the heck--if I want totally plausible I read n...
Having to deal with "integrity issues" professionally myself, I cannot enjoy the horrendous culture in this book.
