Saints of New York
Saints of New York | R.J. Ellory
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Most cops are trying to right grievous wrongs. Few, however, have to deal with the horrific crimes of their own father... Frank Parrish had a famous father: a Saint of New York, an NYPD detective who helped rid the city of Mafia control in the 1980s. John Parrish is a tough act to follow - a legend in his own right - and Frank already has an insubordination rap to beat. Summoned for daily Police Department interviews, he's also trying to work out how the death of a young heroin dealer might connect to his innocent teenage sister, who's just been found dead. There are more questions than answers, not just as the homicides escalate, but as Frank battles with his own demons. He must find the truth, and bring the trail of murder to an end.

One of my favorite authors. I have read most of his books. My Favorites are A Quiet Belief in Angels and Candlemoth which are excellent and the others are very good too!

This is really not worth reading. The character of Frank Parrish fits pretty much every cop cliché on earth - complete with alcoholism, anger management issues, shady business around him and a strained relationship with his ex-wife and kids. This makes him a very boring character. The story is very slow, and the ending is very disappointing. No twist, no nothing. Don't waste your time on this book.

Alcoholism is the only disease you get yelled at for.

I love this quote, but I really hate the book and can't wait for it to be over.
