Product Description

Ingram

A cop has been shot--cold-bloodedly gunned down while trying to prevent a holdup. Regulations say the investigation is to be handled like any other homicide. But when a cop is killed in the line of duty, it is different. And the brotherhood in blue will stop at nothing to bring the killer to justice. Original. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

3.0�toiles sur 5 A day in the life of Philly P.D., Janv. 13 2003

Par	Cory D. Slipman (Rockville Centre, N.Y.) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Badge Of Honor #1 Men In Blue (Paperback)

Men in Blue is a rather vanilla account of the events surrounding the gunning down of Philadelphia Highway Patrol captain Richard "Dutch" Moffitt during an aborted robbery. The womanizing and off duty Moffitt was in the midst of a tryst with attractive TV news anchor Louise Dutton when he was shot while trying to thwart a stick up at the Waikiki diner. Immediately, the entire resources of the Philly P.D. is mobilized to hunt down one of the two robbers, as Moffitt while being shot killed one of the gunmen.

The cerebral, handsome and youthful Staff Inspector Peter Wohl is summoned to babysit Miss Dutton and to hush allegations of infidelity by Moffitt. It is through Wohl's eyes that we see the investigation of Moffitt's murder unfold. Wohl is the latest of many generations of law enforcement officers in his family as was his friend Moffitt. The families go way back and have previously known tragedy as Moffitt's brother was also killed in the line of duty.

The story proceeds both a predicatable and coincidental fashion as Wohl and Dutton, an illegitimate daughter of a wealthy newspaper man, fall for each other. Amazingly, Dutton's neighbor and friend, the gay son of another wealthy newspaper man, Jerome Nelson is brutally stabbed to death in his trendy apartment. Guess who discovers the body. None other than Louise Dutton!

Griffin does a nice job in comparing the differences between the depth and intensity of the separate murder investigations. One being for the Philly P.D.'s own. He however ends the story very abruptly and overall the book is less than riveting.

3.0�toiles sur 5 Good Introduction to a New Griffin Series, Nov. 12 2002

Par	Terry L. Willson "Terry" (New Richmond, WI USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Badge Of Honor #1 Men In Blue (Paperback)

I agree with some of the other reviewers who have stated that this first book in the Badge of Honor series serves mainly to introduce characters with minimal storyline. Having read and enjoyed all of Griffin's military series books, this began my final experience with his series, at least until he publishes new installments. I am currently over halfway through the second book of this series, Special Operations, and am enjoying it much more than this one. So my advice to those who are not excited about Men in Blue is to get through it quickly and move on to the next one. I'm glad that I did.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Griffin and the police, Juil 13 2001

Par	"hamrad" (Kingston, TN United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Badge Of Honor #1 Men In Blue (Paperback)

Griffin is a superb story teller who manages to hold the interest. I do not think he does as well in the police world as he does in the military. I miss some of the humor and pathos of his war stories. Having served long in the military my knowledge of what he wrote may have influenced me. I would recommend it,though.

2.0�toiles sur 5 Character introduction and no story
This book is just an introduction of characters. There is a small background story that lets the characters be introduced. It is really ridiculous. Read more

3.0�toiles sur 5 pulled me in, despite the chauvanism, lack of structure
After I got over females being referred to as blonds, and not a one on the force, I then had to swallow the uni-dimensional aspect of good guy(cop),bad guy(robber). Read more
