BOOK REVIEW: Midnight Alley by Miles Corwin

Midnight Alley:  An Ash Levine Novel

Author:  Miles Corwin
Paperback:  284 pages
Publisher:  Oceanview Publishing (April 16, 2012)
Language:  English

Ash Levine, the top detective in the LAPD's elite Felony Special Squad, is called out to solve the murder of two young black men found shot to death in a Venice alley.  The case is a high priority because one of the victims is the son of City Councilman Isaac Pinkne, a frequent critic of the LAPD.

Searching for the killer throws Levine into the world of Los Angeles's Russian Mafia, Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans, and Middle Eastern acrchaeologists.

Ash's history as a child of a Holocaust survivor gives him a unique perspective on murder, redemption and justice.  His background as a paratrooper in the Israel Defense Forces, and his relentless, single~minded focus on his investigations make him a thoroughly absorbing character.

As Ash closes in on the killer, the investigation becomes increasingly complex ~ and personal.  Ash soon discovers that he is not just an investigator, but a target.

As far as mysteries goes this wasn't a bad book to indulge.  I found the pace was a little slow and sometimes too much information was given in the descriptives, however, the characters were written with depth and understanding and balanced the overall book nicely.

I thought the plot was a fair one even though I found some of the tie~ins to be lacking in depth and merit.  It was intriguing to read about the ancient artifacts and the connections to everyone via the Mask of Ellasar.  The greed in which people would go to achieve their goals was given with insight and clarity.

I felt the antagonist to be a bit of an oaf and I felt he was a bit wooden and stale and I didn't find him overly believable as a sociopath.  I would've liked to have got inside of his head a bit more and perhaps his inner demons would've given him an added perspective that was needed.  I couldn't help but feeling that he was no threat to Ash.

I thought some of the dialogue was wooden and clichéd, especially when it was police banter, I felt it just didn't pull right with me and sometimes it was confusing as you lost direction on who was talking.  

I would give Midnight Alley a three out of five stars.  I found the ending to be predictable whence all the pieces were in play and I didn't find myself challenged.  I prefer to have more twists and turns in my mysteries however, many would find this an enjoyable read especially fans of the Ash Levine series.

BOOK REVIEW: Real-Eyez- Realize-Real-Liez by Robert A. Nelson

Real-Eyez Realize Real-Liez is an Urban Thriller Fiction.

The book situates around three main players, Zoey, the white girl who learned playing with the ghetto boys can end you up in a whole lot of troubles.  Riley, who ended up in prison and came out a saviour and Detective King who has fought to keep the drugs from touching his own life while watching humanity succumb around him.

Each of these three plays a role as the events unfold.  Zoey is a mixed up white girl whose life changes dramatically one night after she  visits her boyfriend and his friends at his crib.  On the way home she is accosted on a bus and the bus driver hands her a card that will change her way of thinking irrevocably.  On the same night, Riley has been arrested for drugs and after his first day in prison, he meets two people who will also change his life forever.  Detective King has just learned that someone in his family is using drugs and vows to stop them from ingesting more.

The tension builds as Riley becomes lieutenant in The Order, a group of templar like knights who vow to bring humanity back to the white race.  White power takes a backseat as white pride takes the forefront.  Riley works to bring the white people together so that they can lead the other races by example.  Setting up outreach centers, hospices, education retreats and more, the plan is beginning to work until Savage decides he wants his share.

Savage is a black youth with a huge power trip.  Not ony does he wish to control the gangs, he wants revenge on Zoey for a past discretion.  As he gathers his posse and makes his claim as the leader of the hood, the social system begins to break down as the gangs take over the streets.

White people are being killed at an alarming rate and the civil unrest develops in Washington, DC where the story unfolds.  Everything is annihilated as the gangs take to the streets, if they aren't killing someone, they are hopped up on drugs and looting everything they can.

As each of the characters come to a head and the conclusion unfolds, the players realize that only one man can remain standing.

I thought Real-Eyez Realize Real-Liez was a very gripping and gritty novel to peruse.  I found many parts of the story downright disturbing when one realizes that this is actually occurring on our streets, the Gangsta way of life has been glorified by the media for over a dozen years and people are drawn to its mystery.  However, to truly lead a gangsta life means short life spans and dodging bullets and this book truly finds the heart of the streets.

I thought the books cover doesn't do any justice to the story inside and quite frankly, I don't see the correlation.  I have asked several people to judge the books cover and not one got it right and after hearing what the book was about, each of them look at me in a bewildered way.

I found the characters to be intriguing, each one was believable in their roles.  I thought how they interacted with the plot was a perfect blend in order to keep your reading.  Their thoughts and actions continued to spur the story on and their tie-ins all worked properly.

I loved the fight scenes, they were filled with much graphic detail.  Whether it was fists flying or bullets, the scenes were climatic, graphic and your adrenaline raced as you perused the events. 

I would give Real-Eyez Realize Real-Liez a four out of five stars.  While I thoroughly enjoyed the read the editorial issues were astounding.  With some decent editing this book would be phenomenal.  I read so many books that this can be frustrating to someone such as myself.  I found myself rewording the passages and thinking, dang, if only...

I am looking forward to the next two books in the series, I just know that there is someone who is going to return even though from this books perspective, one may not think so but the scene was left open and if I can figure out a way to write the character back in, then I am quite sure author, Robert A. Nelson, can also.

SYNOPSIS:
The War for the heart of Urban America won t televise from some foreign shore. It ll be fought in your living room with dope, cash, blood and bullets. The American way of life has strayed into the shadows and one by one we re losing our children to the illusion of Hood Dreams and a Gangsta s Paradise.

The name Riley Bennett will echo through the ages as he who so loved his people that he d rather see the World in flames than see them suffer. The War is coming... Whither we re ready for it or not...

BOOK REVIEW: Death On A High Floor by Charles Rosenberg

Death On A High Floor:  A Legal Thriller is a Legal Mystery Thriller.

Simon Rafer, senior partner in the law firm, Marbury Marfan, has been murdered.  Simon was a "cleaner" and he didn't care who he cut from his team, if you weren't pulling your wait,  you were fired.  Simon didn't hold any bars when it came to success and believed he had game.

Robert Tarza, another senior partner and co-worker of Simon's, was the first upon the scene and has become a suspect.  Robert doesn't believe he has anything to worry about as he doesn't have a motive so he feels safe in his assumptions that Simon deserved what happened to him.

Jenna James is Robert's friend and colleague and she is quick to point out the reasons why Robert may have a motive and it all surrounds an ancient coin that Simon accused Robert of forging and trying to sell.  In an email, Simon threatens to expose Robert for the fraud he is.  Robert is beginning to see that some things he may have done do not look favourably for him.

Detective Spritz believes Robert killed Simon and will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth.  He doesn't trust Robert and finds his stories aloof and off-handed, like he has something to hide.  All Detective Spritz needs are the pieces to put everyone in their places the night Simon was murdered.

As the group work to find out who killed Simon; Robert can feel the noose tightening around his neck.  Jenna and he rush to play detectives themselves, but will they be in time or will Robert face trial for a crime he may not have done?

I thought for a debut novel this was fantastic, I had to keep reminding myself that the author is a green and not a seasoned veteran of the trade.  I thought the primary and secondary characters all worked well with the plot and brought life to the story.

I enjoyed Robert and his pragmatic attention to his life.  I thought Jenna and he made a great friendship even though I found Jenna to be a bit on the abrupt side.  I thought their sleuthing was often comical and the antics of the two brought a nice pace to the story.

I often got frustrated with Detective Spritz, sometimes his apparent refusal to believe the truth made you want to scream.  I thought he was a great antagonist to the story.

The court rooms scenes were believable and worthy of reading.  The plot twists and turns are wonderful and the final outcome of the story and the culprits is a wee bit of a shocker, though the reader does begin to draw the conclusion well before the final scene, it is a nice twist.

I would give Death On A High Floor a three and a half out of five stars.  I thought the court room scenes read great, however, sometimes the dialogue wasn't just and felt forced.  The build up to the end was great, but I felt the ending somewhat fizzled.  The outcome wasn't described as good as I had hoped and I felt it was over before it had begun.  However, for a debut novel it was great and author Charles Rosenberg is definitely going to be a around for a while.

SYNOPSIS:
When the much-despised Marbury Marfan senior partner Simon Rafer turns up dead, with an ornate dagger buried between his shoulder blades, it comes as a surprise to no one. Simon was an abusive boss and had recently been on the warpath, clearing the "dead wood" from the legal firm he treated as his personal fiefdom. Nearly a thousand attorneys and associates, scattered across four continents, had good reason to want Rafer dead, but homicide Detective Spritz has his eye trained on Marbury Marfan partner Robert Tarza, in particular. Tarza and his friend and colleague---and maybe a bit more---Jenna are soon forced to play detective themselves, in a race to find the real killer or killers before Spritz finishes assembling a collection of evidence that will make a very credible case against Tarza.

BOOK REVIEW: Haunted by Douglas Misquita

Haunted is an Action Thriller.

FBI Special Agent Kirk Ingram has just found out his wife plans on leaving him if he doesn't pay attention to his family and less attention to his career.  On the night he plans to put his job on the backburner and spend his future with his wife, Madeline, and his daughter, Lisa, events occur that will irrecovacably change their lives forever.  As the family is driving home from a family outing,  Kirk receives a phone call telling him he had better listen or his family will die.

Agreeing to meet the mysterious people, he soon comes to realize that it is a trap and his family are in serious danger.  After a shoot out with Mafia members who have  a revenge agenda and some FBI backup, Kirk's like is about to become haunted by the memories of this night.  Life, as he once knew it, is about to change forever.

Vowing to wipe out organized crime at any cost, Kirk must face his own demons while struggling to remove them from society.  In the end, only truth and justice shall prevail!

I enjoyed reading the action found within the pages, it keeps you turning them and you can almost visualize the events unfolding.  They are described in such detail that you cannot help but become enthralled with the narrative.

There were many aspects to grasp, such as, terrorism, revenge, police red tape, suicide bombings and death on almost every page.  The characters are all wrapped up in a tale that leaves the reader wondering what is happening and who is the antagonists as you continue to read the plot as it twists and turns.

The dialogue was often written with clarity and it read well and the thoughts shared with the reader remained believable throughout the story.  I did find a few of the back stories concerning the FBI agents to be redundant and not necessary for the plot to further develop.

I would give Haunted a three out of five stars.  While I enjoyed the action scenes, the continual addition of characters was frustrating and it often interrupted with the reading flow as you sometimes needed to backtrack in order to realize the situation at hand.  I also found some of the back stories lacked depth and I was often drawn out of the story.  However, if you enjoy reading some great action scenes then you will certainly enjoy reading Haunted.

BOOK REVIEW: Code Of Darkness by Chris Lindberg

Code Of Darkness is a Suspense Thriller.

The story surrounds three men, Rage, a wanderer and a drifter who saves the life of a cop, Larry Parker and a innocent bystander, Mira Givens, when a bank robbery goes awry.  He does an incredible feat and Larry is unable to put his cop instincts aside and is intrigued with the mysterious stranger.

Elias Todd, a hired assassin with numerous kills under his belt.  He has the ability to be discreet and loves to live life extravagantly.  He is unaware that there are people who have a special interest in his abilities.

Colonel Nolan Hayes, Executive Special Agent to NSA and the head of Project Safeguard.  Colonel Hayes is very interested in attaining assests number one and two so that he can further investigate scientific findings surrounding the genetic makeup of the two men.  Colonel Hayes will stop at nothing to capture these two men and he has every resource at his disposal.

When Elias is captured, he is unaware of the circumstances around his incarceration.  He is taken to a secluded, underground laboratory where unspeakable acts of science are performed upon him.  Loretta Barnes, a scientist working on the project has come to the conclusion that things aren't as they appear and she begins her own investigation and the results she uncovers are beyond her scope of imagining.

Rage has befriended Mira and the two come to realize that their lives are in danger as the NSA has ordered Mira to be brainwashed and Rage to be captured.  Along the way, Larry is caught up in the intrigue and his life has been forfeited for knowing too much.  After his family is kidnapped, Larry and Mira team up to bring the truth to light while dodging special ops, the police and their own demons.

I thought this was a great read and was soon caught up in the mystery found within the pages.  I liked the characters and found they all worked well together to bring the story alive.  I liked Rage and found his inner thoughts to be a great addition to the story.  I would've liked to have seen more from Elias and had a better knowledge of his inner machinations.

I was captivated by the plot, I had to know what was going on and found myself perusing the pages to get to the end.  I found some of the storylines weren't tied up as good as I had hoped.  I still do not know why any of them had the special abilities that they did and I was waiting for the climax and the answers to all my questions, however, it fell flat and I was left with only more to ponder.

I thought that Hayes was a decent enough antagonist but his motivation often eluded me, I know why he wanted them but not for what he wanted them for exactly.  I have my own opinion but I felt that the author didn't convey the message clear enough.

I would give Code Of Darkness a three and a half stars out of five.  I found it slow to pick up and a bit cliched in the beginning but then the story finds its own and you are soon caught up in the mystery surrounding the characters.  I wish the reasons had been clearer as I was left with an impression that the author wasn't sure what the reason was himself or it was being set up for another installation and perhaps a series.  I am unsure but I would read another book by Chris Lindberg, he has a great writing style that captivates the reader to continue to read more of his work.

Code Of Darkness

SYNOPSIS:
When a routine bank robbery takes an unexpected turn, veteran Chicago Police officer Larry Parker witnesses a heroic act by a mysterious intervener. But seconds later the Samaritan disappears, leaving Larry only with unanswered questions.

Suddenly, vigilante activity begins popping up all over the city -- including several murders. Larry begins to gather the missing pieces of the puzzle, and finds evidence the Samaritan might be tied to them. When he learns the man's identity -- a loner known only by the name Rage -- he prepares to move in for the arrest.

But there is much more to Rage than meets the eye: the case has also drawn the attention of a covert Black Ops division within the Pentagon. Their mission: find Rage, while keeping their operation out of the public eye. Seen as knowing too much, Larry suddenly finds himself in the crosshairs as well. When Rage is captured in a deadly standoff, Larry is forced into hiding, and must search for answers while on the run.

The deadly chase leads cross-country to a top-secret military facility in Virginia, where Rage and Larry uncover the greatest danger of all -- and only they can stop the unthinkable from happening.

The Accidental Activist by Alon Shalev

The Accidental Activist is a Literary Legal/Political Fiction based on the McDonald's libel case of the 1990's.

Matthew is a computer programmer working on a program deal with an Oil conglomerate that could make or break his career.  His friends and colleagues are a tight knit group and the five of them always have each others backs.

On the night that Matthew and Paul attend a party, Matthew doesn't realize how much his life is about to change.  A woman approaches Matt and asks him to whisk her away from the boredom and from that day forward, their fates are intertwined.

Suzy is an activist who uses her education, tenacity and her willpower to bring light to degrading situations around the world.  Her newest pet project is saving the people in the Amazon jungle from an oil company who wishes to drill there.  The tribesfolk have stated they will all jump to their deaths if this is allowed.

As the two draw closer together, Suzy is arrested for handing out flyers that make the oil company look bad and she is charged with libel.  Matthew rallies his friends and colleagues together to fight back at the injustice of the British legal system and the big business that wishes to control the situation.  The group of friends create a web site to bring awareness to the plight and from there the site goes viral as more people are being informed.

For years Suzy, Matthew and their friends and family fight the charges in court, bringing in eye witnesses, scientists, experts and more to prove that some things are just worth fighting for.

I loved that this book was based on a true story, it always give the book an extra added appeal.  I thought that the characters were likeable and interesting to read.  I liked the dry humour that Matthew displays and the mysterious of Suzy as the story progresses was a nice touch.

I enjoyed reading about the British legal system and how it works, as well, the details shared in the courtroom were surprisingly easy to understand and follow.  The author writes with a layman's feel and you are drawn into the intrigue of courtroom drama.

I would give The Accidental Activist a four out of five stars.  While I enjoyed the read, I thought the book could have been expanded, giving us some more depth to the characters and their back stories.  I sometimes felt rushed in their introductions to the story and would have liked to have savoured their nuances.  However, this is a wonderful read and it has a feel good ending that I am sure most will appreciate.

The Accidental Activist

SYNOPSIS:

The Samaritan by Stephen Besecker

The Samaritan is a Mystery Adventure Thriller.

Kevin "Hatch" Easter is a Seneca native who works for the CIA.  He has grown up with stereotypes and racism his whole life.  He knows what it feels like to be an outsider.  When he meets and marries Karen, his life has new meaning and he begins to live life again.

On the day that Karen is to meet her sister, Patricia, at Rudy's Tavern to celebrate her sisters happy news, the two are killed in a mob hit when Capo Johnny Cercone and his cousin go to collect a debt.  Kevin is devastated and he returns to the Cattaraugus Indian Reserve to mourn his losses.

When members of mob Boss Tony D's begin to show up dead; Deputy Director of Intelligence, Jack Slattery, puts his best assassin on the job.  Someone is killing these people in a highly trained manner and Jack believes there are very few who meet that calibre and have a reason to do so.

Gray Taylor is having mixed reservations about this assignment.  He geniunely likes Kevin and wishes to do him no harm if he happens to have gone rogue.  Kevin is always one step ahead of Gray however and the two form a mutual bond of respect and friendship.  To make matters worse for Gray, his wife Terry, believes Kevin to be a great person and is against Gray's involvement in the situation.

As each person has their own agenda, the truth must prevail.  Someone is guilty of killing Karen and Patricia and everyone is going to pay.

I thought this was a great read.  I loved the character development and the plot has enough believability to make the plot acceptable to the reader.  I liked how there wasn't too much excess information that could have tied the book down, I am glad the author was able to write in such a way as to leave us with our own imaginations.

I thought Gray was a great character.  I loved reading about his stress and turmoil over his assignment and how he had to grapple with his own hidden ghosts.  I also enjoyed his relationship with his wife and thought the two of them made a great addition to the story.

I would have liked to have had a bit more back story with Karen and Patricia.  I couldn't quite feel for the Samaritan as he leveled his playing field.  Without knowing more about either of these ladies, it was hard to relate to the ordeal and often I wanted the killer to be captured, for I felt he over stepped his boundaries.  I'm thinking with a bit more interaction with the ladies, I would have felt more for his plight than I did.

I would give The Samaritan four out of five stars.  While I thought it was a great read, I found it predictable and I easily guessed the outcome of the story.  I was hoping to be wrong but the clues are displayed quite apparently and it ended as I had predicted as I was reading.  Although, it is well written and the outcome is definitely worth delving into.

I also enjoyed reading about Tony D, his character was a perfect addition to the story.  You wanted to hate and love him at the same time.  I felt more for his character than I did for any other and somehow I think it shouldn't have been that way.  I found him to be an honourable and courageous man who kept his associates under control and just wanted to enjoy life without too much stress.  I loved how even though he was the Kingpin, he seemed more concerned about his wife's welfare than his own.

If you love mystery thrillers than you are definitely going to enjoy this one.  The expletives are mild to moderate and the scene graphics are temperate to moderate in nature.

The Greatest Patriot by Daniel Sullivan

The Greatest Patriot is a Political Thriller.

Top secret messages are arriving to the Kennedy administration stating that Kruscheyev hates JFK and wishes him dead because of the Bay of Pigs mishap where Kruscheyev lost face in his political party.  Kruscheyev continues to push the American president's buttons until only one solution is left on the table.  In order to prevent World War 3, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, must fake his own death, creating the biggest conspiracy the world has ever known.

Its present day and the Greeks are reporting that 93 year old JFK was just killed in a helicopter accident off the island coast of Skorpios.  Hal Rumsey has heard the news on the television and believes it is time that the world learns of the truth.

Calling up The Washington Post's, Mike Mahoney, he begins to share his tale, however, before Mike will believe him, Hal sends Mike to look at the PT109 coconut for the truth.  When Mike learns that Hal is telling the truth, he flies out to Florida to hear the rest of his tale.

Hal reminisces about the days when he was first assigned the case.  He had no family and no commitments and was a perfect candidate for the job, unknown to him was that the job was going to take up the next 40 or so years of his life.  Upon first learning of the truth, Hal is shocked but agrees to defend the President's life at all costs.  Hal and Jack become friends and confidantes while the President works his politics from behind closed doors, moving and shaping the world without anyone knowing any wiser.

Hal explains the assassination, how everyone had a role to play, except Jack Ruby, who was, in fact, a wild card to the whole ordeal.  From the bullet hole found in the curb at Dealey Plaza that is purported to have been fired from Oswald's gun, to the reasons for Jackie's friendship with Ari Onassis, all details are given to the reader in another light, a different outcome to an old story.

I really liked this book, I found many aspects of it interesting.  The whole parrellel universe kind of feel to it was wonderful to read.  I thought the explanations shared with reader worked for the most part and liked how the back story was shared through the eyes of Hal.

I found many of the explanations on how things could have been if looked at from a different angle was quite commendable in its writing.  Many of the thoughts shared are believable and sometimes the author made you stop and wonder, which was excellent for its mystery and daring.

I found the characters weren't easily read from the other.  Sometimes I wasn't sure who was speaking as each seemed to have similar bearing in their character explanations.  When Bob McNamara and Bob Kennedy were in the same room it would get very confusing trying to figure out which Bob was which.

I also thought some of the thoughts shared gave too much detail to the reader and others not enough.  The dialogue appeared forced which made it appear as if the characters in the book were reading from a script.

I would give The Greatest Patriot a four out of five stars, while I loved the history and the way it was shared with the reader, sometimes in flashback and sometimes via the interview; I just wasn't that fond of how the characters interacted with the reader and couldn't find their rhythm.  As for the history and the what if aspect to that history, author, Daniel Sullivan does deliver.

The Greatest Patriot

SYNOPSIS:
A magnificent read that introduces the reader to an incredible account of one the most important events in American History. The Greatest Patriot provokes the reader's curiosity as it poses the question "what if?" Sullivan is Clancy-esque in his use of historical details, creating a world where Dealy Plaza was not the end, but only the beginning; a world in which President Kennedy makes an unspeakable, yet necessary, decision to save his country and the world. Sullivan successfully spins a suspenseful plot, delighting the reader with splendid historical nuggets woven into an intricate story of intrigue and mystery. Fans of Dan Brown, Clancy and Grisham will be enthralled by this thought-provoking drama that plunges them into an astonishing alternative view of history. The story follows the life of JFK after the "assassination," the struggles of Hal Rumsey, the secret service agent who guarded the president, and the journalist, Mike Mahoney, who must choose whether or not to expose the staggering truth. Will the truth be revealed or buried with the few who were entrusted to keep the secret of America's Greatest Patriot? From the opening paragraph to its extraordinary conclusion, The Greatest Patriot captivates the reader with the desire to know if this might just be how it really happened. As the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination rapidly approaches, Sullivan stimulates the imagination with a world where Camelot lived on.
