Closer to a 3.5, but not a bad 87th precinct clone. I do believe it rambles a bit in the middle but it wraps up things neatly and quickly. It really contains three stories, the main story is the death of a entire family, and a lady cop goes undercover to infiltrate the drug dealers thought responsible. The other two involve a dog fighting case and a case about forced evictions of rent controlled apartments. To me the secondary stories are actually better, the main case just seems to drag a bit. The characters are written fairly well, I like the ideal that the precinct is kind of a last chance for cops that are seen as problems in other precincts.
This is the first for me in this series, and will try others. I do recommend if you just want more 87th precinct type novels to read.

Second book in the Precinct: Siberia series.
The drug dealing Fuentes brothers are out of control, so Barbara Babalino goes undercover to stop them, despite getting engaged to Joe Lawless.
Frank Piccolo, the small but brutal cop is out to get a block busting landlord. Laws and regulations aren't real priorities to Piccolo...
Arnold Gertz is on another animal case, out to find out who sank a German Shepherd into the Harlem River.
Pretty good stuff. Piccolo didn't get a lot of time in the novel, so it was nice to see him developed a little.
