Connecticut News Gripping . . . Payne and his cohorts face long odds in a gritty police series that provides sociological comment but no easy answers. Publishers Weekly Praise for Griffin and Butterworth Griffin has the knack. With enviable skill he doles out humanizing detail for a large and colorful cast, and you care what happens to virtually all of them. Griffin is one of those writers who sets his novel before you in short, fierce, stop-for-nothing scenes. Before you know it, you ve gobbled it up. The Philadelphia Inquirer If God is truly in the details, then Griffin must be the pope of police procedurals. What s amazing is that all these factoids don t slow down the story s considerable momentum for a minute. Nor do they keep Griffin s gritty cops from convincing us of their individuality.

The characters come alive. The Gainesville Times Speedy plotting, lively entertainment. Kirkus Reviews Griffin s books sell millions. They deserve it! Houston Chronicle
