LibraryThing reader reviews:
***oldbookswine | Oct 28, 2015 |***Once in a while you go to a used book store and find a book that you missed years ago. This is such a book. Current as it was in 1993 with international drug trade, murder, police corruption, and a brave policeman who does the right thing. This has it all and then some. Lindsey is a Texan and writes about Houston in this novel. You are there with the heat, humidity, all of it.
Recommended for all suspense readers.

***GailL | Apr 30, 2011 |Excellent mystery***...lots of characters...lots of twist/turns....very long book, bit slow at first, but grabs you once you get into it. 561 pages of small print.

***MOVIE: A police spy story starring Arnette Kepner, a former CIA agent in the Far East, now an independent operator.*** She is hired by the criminal intelligence division of the Houston Police Department for an undercover investigation of crooked cops involved in drugs and arms smuggling. **By the author of Body of Truth.*--Library Thing Review***
