Pre-9/11 terrorism story (World Trade Centers are even mentioned in passing), exemplifying the idea that if terrorists were to go for a "thousand cuts" strategy rather than the big splashing jobs, they could do even more damage to our freedom than they already have. But these are foiled by the dogged work of a NYPD maverick and his soon to be x-FBI ally. Narrative drags near the end, but an above average book. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieStanley Moodrow (1)
A hard-nosed cop tears into the criminal shadow world of the Lower East Side On the streets of downtown Manhattan, there is no better disguise than the vacant stare and limp slouch of the junkie. Masquerading as an addict, Johnny Katanos goes undetected as he slithers up the fire escape towards the biggest heroin operation in the city of New York. He disables the alarms, distracts the guards, kills the Dobermans, and is waiting with a grenade when Ronald Jefferson Chadwick, drug kingpin, returns with a suitcase full of cash. A few minutes later, the money is gone, Chadwick is dead, and the factory has been reduced to a fireball. Though the New York Police Department rarely investigates a dealer's death, a Russian-made grenade appearing downtown is cause for fear. The case falls to Stanley Moodrow, a beefy detective who knows that in an investigation like this, there's no time to go by the book. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
