Justice

A Novel of the NYPD: A Detective Brian McKenna Novel

By: Dan Mahoney

Narrated by: Christopher Lane

Detective First Grade Brian McKenna and his partner Cisco Sanchez are chasing a killer that all of New York City is rooting for, a vigilante of supreme technical skill, physical power, and intelligence who signs himself "Justice". Justice is executing drug dealers, helping the police close unsolved cases, and providing those in need with stolen drug money - creating a nightmare for the police commissioner, the mayor, and the two detectives. McKenna and Sanchez must work to outsmart the killer, discover his next victim, and find out who is helping Justice in his quest for revenge.©2003 Dan Mahoney (P)2003 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Critic reviews

"Mahoney is a genius at transforming the details of the workaday police grind into a spellbinding thriller, and he is in top form here....When the vigilante's identity is finally unveiled, a fast-moving series of shootouts and heart-wrenching decisions make for a spectacular climax." (Publishers Weekly)
"[Mahoney's] intimate knowledge of the drug trade - including its mind-boggling financial structure - and his hands-on grasp of investigative technique mesh well in the eighth installment of this exciting series. (Booklist)
"Christopher Lane's well-paced reading [is] particularly effective in his depiction of know-it-all Detective Cisco Sanchez and his partner, Brian McKenzie" (AudioFile)

Enjoyable

Not the best read I have had lately, but above average. The pace was brisk and the characters were likable and interesting. The plot kind of lags at the end, but it still kept my interest.

Justice: A Novel of the NYPD

Great book to listen to, some funny moments.

Promising, but loses momentum

Teases you with a great opening action sequence, but immediately becomes a talky procedural. However, Christopher Lane does an amazing job with the material and his narration is the only reason I finished this one.
