This is the first book that I've read by Stuart M. Kaminsky. I don't typically read detective novels, but I had this book (I have no idea where I got it from!) and decided to give it a try. I started it yesterday and finished it this afternoon. Suffice it to say, it was definitely a page turner for me. The story takes place in Chicago and is centered around a cop, Abe Lieberman, his life, both on and off-duty. Though the storyline kept my interest enough for me to finish the book in a day, I don't intend to now seek out other books by Kaminsky, but if you enjoy a good detective novel, then I would definitely recommend this book.
