While crusading for public housing, his father ran afoul of the city’s most corrupt politicians, and Michael is certain they were responsible for the crash.

Could not finishCould not get into the book. The storyline didn't make sense. It was too disjointed. Not my cup of tea.
Great book, an exciting cop-thriller! Thorpe has an ear for "coptalk" and really knows how to tell a story and ratchet up the suspense. This is the author of a book titled "Nothing Lasts Forever" which was made into a blockbuster movie many years ago titled "Die Hard" starring Bruce Willis and Bonnie Bedelia.
Another excellent Police Procedural Novel by the author of, THE DETECTIVE. This is a very long, and multifaceted novel which involves dozens of interconnected characters. However, at the conclusion, the basic theme, and reasons for the plot are clearly understandable. Mike Gallagher is acting head of Homicide, Hollywood Division, and he was present near a particularly grisly multi-murder one morning in the Hollywood Hills. Although he is not officially on the case, and has been told to ignore
