Police Commander Larry Cole returns in his most dangerous case to date. the investigation of the murders of two hit-men leads Cole to an old colleague, FBI Special Agent Reggie Stanton. Cole had known Stanton when he was a Chicago cop accused of vigilante knife-murders on Chicago's South Side. Now the murders of the two assassins bear the same M.O. as those long-ago cases.
Chicago Blues (Larry Cole) Reviews
-
It's too violent for me but I think it is true to the blues song in the book. It comes at you like a freight train. I found the second half of the book easier to deal with. I don't really like violence and was reading it because it was so unlike the sorts of things I like to read. It is a good commentary on police, politicians and mobsters and how that is all so precariously balanced.

After I got past the first really gruesome murder, I actually started to enjoy the book. Reggie Stanton, in a way, reminded me of Dexter without a sense of humor. I'd read another in the series.

Loved it!

I like this writer but this one had a few too violent parts in it.
