Amazon.com Review
Great crime reporters like Jimmy Breslin and Nick Pileggi raved about this very strong thriller when it first came out; now you can share their delight with the paperback version. Tyre takes the old-fashioned newsroom setting and turns it on its head, giving us in crime reporter Kate Murray the kind of feisty character another Kate--Hepburn--could have played to perfection. Murray is relentless in her pursuit of a story but tinged with sadness about her lost love, a drunk and disgraced police detective named John Finn. Both sides of her life play an important part in this story about corruption and redemption.
