Men in Blue (Badge Of Honor)

I ordered this book and do want it, but you sent a book with that name by a different author and it is nothing like Web Griffin would write....

These books are so real to the real truth of what its like to be a policeman and of a special unit. I had retired, but while reading this series of books, I actually re-lived my career.

I had never read any of Griffin's books before picking up this one to see what it might be like. Having retired as a police Inspector after 25 years service I found I could not put it down. I don't see how anyone who has never served could have written this entire series. This series brought back memories from my first days on the street until my retirement. Once I finished this book I bought the series and read them straight though This really is the way things are within a major city Police Department.

The books in this series are so intricate and complex. The author has provided so much as to detail that he has painted an accurate picture of police work, inner politics, and the workings of investigations. I have all of the paperbacks so far in the series andI am getting the newest one soon. My only problem is that I can't put them down and never get anything else done!

The blending of chartacters from different walks of lives brought together like family, friends and neighbors. You can sense the mood of each person as you weave your way though their lives. The City Brotherly Love has more then Liberty Square. This book and the follow five in the series are as good as any series I have ever read. W.E.B. Don't stop now, as long as the qaulity stays this high I will keep reading.

This was the first book by Griffin I had ever read...I was never a cops and robbers reader...but this book was GREAT. When I was finished I couldn't wait to get the next one. Griffin makes the characters so real, Mathew Payne is the best.
