Definitely another winner!I was totally overcome by the revelations in the letter in the final chapter and it moved me to tears - not something I can recall ever happening to me with a book before.Easily compares with Jeffrey Deaver, Lee Child, James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell.Excellent, exciting, witty, dark.Another gem with a gripping storyline and surprises popping up with Eddie's work methods and exceptionally brave storyline.VINE VOICE - I was sorry to finish it and can't wait for the next offering from this author...highly recommended.I won't spoil anything but I have to admit to my mouth hanging open on the last page!Eddie, the main character comes out with some wonderful comments.I find that if a book is good, I get way too involved and feel that I am living the story which is what happened with "Sword Of Damocles".This could easily be the basis for a successful television series.This is my favourite in the series so far with just the right mix of suspense, humour and bittersweet moments.One of the things I like about this writer is that the ending never lets down the rest of the story which can happen quite a lot.What a superb read. Completely unexpected twist at the end. Kept me up into the early hours reading since I couldn't put it down!The Author does a fabulous descriptive job setting scenes up and you almost feel as if you're in the thick of it.Eddie Collins was very amusing, had me laughing a lot with his comments and I liked him from the start.This is a must read book and you are certainly in for a treat. The ending - WOW.It moved at a cracking pace and kept me guessing until the end.It was very well written and I loved the banter and humour from the main characters.It's a little different from the usual police procedure books as its focused around the CSI perspective which was really interesting.
