The events in this book are inspired by actual experiences and cases that Joyce St. George encountered during her six years as the first female special investigator for the Special State Prosecutor, an arm of the NY State Attorney General’s office: to investigate and prosecute cases of corruption and brutality within the criminal justice system of New York city. An interesting mix of third and first person narratives is deployed so we can get inside other characters’ heads as well as that of tough sexy half-Puerto Rican Tina Paris.
Tina
is trying to nail a nasty piece of work, police officer Calvert, while a
nameless psycho picks up young women and plays Russian roulette with a revolver
while raping them… Inevitably, a woman is killed.
The
in-depth description of Tina’s work undercover, the frustrations of police
duty, the prevarications of witnesses frightened for their lives, and the
dedication of many NY cops, add to a fast-paced story where many threads come
together in a suspense-filled denouement.

Sounds wonderful. I have to read it.
Doug, you can pick it up on Amazon at a good price, cheaper than the post and packing probably!
