Publisher Description
Philadelphia Homicide Sergeant Matthew Payne is paired with a Texas Ranger to bring down a murderer with Mexican cartel connections. The odd couple of the Philly cop and the Texas lawman must run down the killer and his gang-before the body count rises again.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dope smuggling, prostitution and murder preoccupy Sgt. Matt Payne of the Philadelphia PD in the uneven ninth Badge of Honor novel from bestseller Griffin and son Butterworth (after Final Justice). Payne, known as the Wyatt Earp of the Main Line because of his involvement in so many shootings, receives a call from an old pal, Chad Nesbitt, who tells him that a mutual friend, Skipper Olde, is somehow involved in a catastrophic fire. Matt doesn't care about Skipper, but Skipper's girlfriend, whom Matt had a crush on in high school, has been badly burned. Meanwhile, 21-year-old Juan Paulo Delgado, "El Gato," is going about his usual business of pimping, beating and beheading undocumented Mexican women. Sophomoric, jokey dialogue and intrusive author lectures will lead many readers to tire of the whole business long before the evildoer receives his just and expected reward. Author tour.
Customer Reviews
Another great one from W.E.B.
Great read from a great writer. Griffin always keeps your longing for more and on the edge of your seat.
Mr Griffin is Slipping
Not a great read. Ordinarily I read each page fairly slowly, to get a feel for the story. The stories here are chopped, while MR Griffin tries to slowly interweave the players to the finale.
This story follows the standard trope, and I found myself wishing I hadn’t wasted the time spent reading it.
