Reviews

[Josh Hitch · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really enjoyed this first book in the Precinct Siberia series (my second, read the 2nd one and enjoyed it, too). The misfits of all the precincts end up in the 53rd, which has a very high crime rate. It's a punishment assignment, but they are still some good cops here. This details some of the officers, why they are there, and a few of their cases. Does a good job in giving you info on the characters but also keeping your interest.

Highly recommended it's a police procedural novel with just a bit of humor. They are misfits, but other than that, it's written fairly straight.

[Glen · Rating 3 out of 5]

First book in the Precinct: Siberia series is a pretty good police procedural about the worst precinct in New York.

There's really several stories here. One is about a sex killer, and the way various police react to the investigation. another is about a policewoman who posed for a nudie magazine years ago, and aother policeman tries to find out who is stealing goats.

It all comes together nicely.
