I read this book about 14-Feb-2003. This is the first time I've read this book. The book is copyright 2003. This note was last modified Saturday, 03-May-2014 21:11:12 PDT.
Latest (eighth) book in his Badge of Honor series. He's gotten really weird about continuity. Suddenly, in this book, everybody has cell phones and digital cameras and computers; and acts as if they'd always had them. Even though it's stated that Matt Payne has been on the force only 5 years, putting this back in the eighties sometime.
Other than that, an okay book.
The title makes no sense, by the way. There isn't a major death penalty case involved or anything like that. In fact the action is wrapped around two different cases that don't interact at all.
