Filled with drugs, prostitution, and crime, this mystery explores the unglamorous life of a street cop in the rough-and-tumble 51 Division. Jack Warren, a young officer who enters the dangerous downtown streets after working in a virtually crime-free area, is immediately thrown into a brutal war against a crack-cocaine dealer intent on taking over the city's drug trade. Jack soon discovers that no one is safe from the dealer's quest for domination when the war turns horrifically personal. Working with the division's elite major-crime unit, Jack learns there is an imperceptible yet enormous difference between the law and justice--and being a police officer and surviving in the 51.

I don't usually mark hard-boiled police dramas as my favorite type of fiction, but I must admit that I was drawn into the story, wondering what would become of Jack. He wasn't a character that I immediately liked, but over time, I came to understand him better, and rooted for his success.
I felt that this book could have done with some stronger female characters, and a bit more fleshing out, but overall I did enjoy it. The writing was straightforward, no-nonsense - fitting for the tough neighborhoods Jack roamed.
I would be curious to discover how much of Lethal Rage was drawn from author Brent Pilkey's personal experience, as he spent 15 years in the 51 Division he describes.
I received an ARC of this book for review purposes from ECW press. ( )
