Lovell has created complicated characters that you don't get to figure out all at once or even all in this first installment. Lovell wastes no time jumping into the thick of the story and does a good job bringing the reader along quickly. To top things off, the FBI has a vested interest in what's going on too. His wife has moved across the country, he's suing the NYPD, and is now beeing drug into what turns out to be murder through a 'friend' who holds the fact that he saved Blade's life over his head to help out a woman he barely knows. Blades Overstreet is an ex-cop that is facing problems in both his professional and personal life. Abrasive and straight forward, with no soft edges, yet still readable. The language/dialogue felt very much like what I consider 'dude' talk. Too Beautiful To Die is another grittier mystery that I enjoyed.
