"Loved the first in this series so hoping for another good one. And I was not disappointed. Great story and some good recipes as well--always a great combination. Information about the workings of the White House especially appropriate right at this time." — Shirley (4 out of 5 stars)

" I've been rereading the 87th precinct books; hadn't read this one in a long time, and was pleasantly surprised. The form was pretty experimental for McBain, along with the usual sharp police mystery. "
" Classic 87th Precinct, but with a different point of view! "
" Typical Ed McBain. I really like his 87th precinct series. "
" Still another fast moving 87th Precinct novel. This oner tells the story of big city street gangs. "
