Griffin further develops the characters in his Badge of Honor series. Wohl comes to the forefront in command of an elite part of the Philly PD as well as a new operation with an unknown mission or objective. Many of the other characters become more real. Matt Payne is seen as a bumbling idiot who would have difficulty finding his gluteus maximus with both hands but who becomes the hero through no conscious fault of his own. This is a more important book than the first of the series, Men in Blue, for it sets the tone of what is to come. Amazing story telling! I enjoyed it. The Griffin formula continues; he adds realistic structure to the novel. But, one sees the same formula continuing...e.g. the new kid gets plucked from basic training to help out the super cop...just like the Army and Marine stories. Characters seem real and true to cop like attitudes. Next? This is the second book, of 10 books, in the series, The Badge of Honour, and was published, Oct 1989. The series is about the City of Philadelphia police force, including the Philadelphia Highway Patrol, from the cop on the beat, right up to the Commissioner. It interesting to read how police investigations were done then compared to know. The basics of investigating are the same but the technology available then compared to present extremely difficult to imagine. No cell phones, no computers, no digital cameras to name a few. While the police cars where equipped with car radios, some communication, still needed to be done by phone, which meant finding a pay phone. A serial rapist and murderer is terrifying the City of Philadelphia and the pressure is on the police force to capture him. A rookie police officer finds himself tested. It is a great read and fast paced. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
