CITY PRIMEVAL

Detroit homicide detective Raymond Cruz knows who shot the judge. And who killed eight more people. But knowing and proving are two different things. Steve Dunn does a first-class job presenting this complex story packed with a host of dark characters. He mixes carefully chosen dialects with just the right amount of emotion, pacing and inflection to bring this story to life. Although the opening chapters seem crowded with people and events, the plot moves smoothly to a clear conclusion. T.J.M. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN 97]
