Publisher Description
Driving along the freeway, LAPD Sergeant Shane Scully glances over and sees at the wheel of a neighboring car his oldest friend and LAPD colleague, Jody Dean. Why is Scully so surprised? Because it's been two years since Jody committed suicide. Now Shane is confronted by the bizarre truth: Jody and five other cops thought to be dead are anything but. Originally sent deep undercover to bust an extremely violent international criminal network, they've gone bad. Calling themselves the Vikings, they are LAPD's worst nightmare: dangerous rogue cops who know how the system works.
Full of the high-wire suspense and wonderful characters that made The Tin Collectors a bestseller, The Viking Funeral brings Shane Scully back into action, pitting him against his closest childhood friend, and endangering the life of the woman he loves.

"I like the character and overall the books are very good, at least the first two in the series which are all I've read so far. There are minor problems with content that a firearms consultant or even a trip to a good gun shop would cure. Other than those problems there is nothing to criticize. "

" Shane Scully needs to find out why he saw his dead friend riding in a car next to him on the highway. What he finds is mayhem, greed and murder! "

" would not read past the first Paragraph, much to graphic for me. I will not even consider picking up one of his books again. "
— Ginger, 12/2/2010 -
" A bit too glib - lots of gun violence - pat descriptions of sexy women -potboiler par excellence. Better than a bodice ripper, I guess. "
— Pam, 8/31/2010 -
" My favorite of the Scully novels! "
— Paula, 7/24/2010 -
" Another book given to me by a friend that I don't remember reading. I was doing a lot of airline travel for work in 2004 so I imagine this was another mile-burner book that I didn't give another thought past the last page. "
— Nissa, 6/5/2010 -
" A little graphic at times. "

" Excellent; Continuing character: Shane Scully; after seeing his best friend in a car (months after he'd been "killed") a cop tries to work from the insdie to nail a group of bad cops taking justice into their own hands for profit. <br/> "
— Joe, 8/27/2009 -
" The Second of the Shane Scully series. Cannell writes interesting characters and this storyline had several unexpected twists. I listened to this as an unabridged audiobook read by Dick Hill, who was great at giving different personalities to each character. "
— Cecelia/Ceil, 4/5/2009 -
