5.0 out of 5 stars Well Written April 20 2004
Format:Hardcover
Tom McMichael is a San Diego homicide detective, no problem until businessman Pete Braga is murdered. Their families have been enemies for years but McMichael is determined to rise above the situation: his job is to solve the crime. Parker's narrative is action packed with more curves than most mountain roads. Separating the past from the present is the biggest obstacle Tom faces as he struggles to ferret out the murderer. "Cold Pursuit" will keep you guessing from first page to the last. T. Jefferson Parker is a talented author and I look forward to reading more from him.

5.0 out of 5 stars brain thorn Dec 4 2003
Format:Hardcover
As far as I know, T. Jefferson Parker is the first one to use "brain thorn" to describe a condition we all suffer when something is right on the tip of our toungue. Detective McMichael manages to extract the important clues right on time.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Whodunit Nov 2 2003
Format:Hardcover
San Diego homicide cop Tom McMichael is investigating the murder of eighty-four-year-old city patriarch Pete Braga who was found bludgeoned to death. In a long ago past Braga shot McMichael's grandfather in a fight over a paycheck, then right after the shooting Braga's son was found badly beaten. Was it revenge? The investigation leads to many suspects, including members of both the McMichael and Braga families in this whodunit that will keep you up all night long as it did me.
