Determined to find out why, Lindsey becomes a thorn in the side of the NYPD-particularly the shapely side of a tough detective named Marcie Sokolov. Cletus Berry has been gunned down in an alley, along with a smalltime hoodlum. Without his former teammate, Berkeley cop Marvia Plum (she married someone else in The Cover Girl Killer, 1995), Lindsey here leaves Denver, where he's deputy director of the Special Projects Unit of International Surety, for frigid New York City to investigate the murder of one of the unit's own. In a narrative sense, these values include solid research, straightforward prose and a narrative engine that chugs along with reassuring strength. Lupoff, a prolific writer, captures lots of old-fashioned values in his series featuring insurance investigator Hobart Lindsey.
