Review:

"San Francisco Chronicle" A thriller of a book!

"Los Angeles Times" Excellent, tautly written.

"Library Journal" Artfully recreated.

"The New York Times" Engrossing....The incredible story of a hit squad sent to kill cops....The accounts of the two murder trials in New York...and an intervening chase down to a remote farm in Mississippi...are almost as suspenseful as the stalking and capture of the killers.
