I liked the plot, but it appears to me that the Griffin co-author books are mostly written by his son, Butterworth IV, and thus the writing was not quite as sharp or focused as the previous Badge Of Honor novels. I felt this book tended to drag somewhat in the middle, but overall I enjoyed it.
SUMMARY:Philadelphia Homicide Sergeant Matthew Payne is paired with a Texas Ranger to bring down a murderer with Mexican cartel connections. The odd couple of the Philly cop and the Texas lawman must run down the killer and his gang-before the body count rises again.
A decent read but a bit muddled. I never got in tune with the characters - probably because there are so many and several go by more than one name. This was my first Griffin read - I will give the author another chance.
