I loved this story because Orlando was tough!! He was no push over. And as he does this he draws nearer to making himself whole and strengthening his own dignity and character. Orlando has to work alongside the man he accused, a man known for poor policing and misuse of power but despite this Orlando pulls all the disparate pieces together until he is able to make a whole and to solve the crime. Not only is he determined to solve this crime, he is determined not to break under pressure. Now Orlando is hated and harassed at work but he is a man driven by a need for justice and by shadows from his past. All was well until he decided to break ranks and report a fellow police officer. Orlando is the hated homicide detective who lives with his partner Stewart. The story pulls you into the mystery and it's characters from page one. I started reading it and wanted to race through to the end to find out who did it and how the different pieces of the puzzle come together:Ī murdered Hasidic rabbi who was involved shadowy property deals and secret antique sales, a community that seems united on the outside but within has factions and divisions that may have resulted in murder, a bombed abortion clinic, a powerful property owner who has the ear of the Mayor of New York, and a police detective who is hated by his colleagues for breaking rank and standing up for justice. This was such a brilliant read, fast paced, gripping and really hard to put down.
