From Library Journal
Hot-shot detective Brian McKenna has been with the New York Police Department for over 20 years but has yet to be promoted to detective first grade. When the Hispanic male that McKenna kills in a gunfight turns out to be a member of the Peruvian terrorist group Sendero Luminoso (the Shining Path), McKenna finally gets the Big Case that should guarantee his promotion. Played out in the street of New York's Spanish Harlem, the story follows McKenna and his fellow detectives as they work the case during the course of five days, from their initial discovery of a terrorist kidnapping to the final explosive denouement. With sure pacing, deft characterizations, and compelling plot, this polished first novel provides an entertaining look at how police forces really work. With the same assured voice of experience that Joseph Wambaugh used in his novels of the LAPD, Mahoney (a retired NYPD captain) paints a realistic image of urban police that will be popular with fans of the genre.
