Jack Devlin #4
Гангстерски рап
Ню Лотс, Бруклин, последната спирка на метрото.
Кварталът се е превърнал и в последната спирка в живота на мнозина. Този зловещ кипящ казан сред ада на Бруклин е денонощен пазар на дрога — ужасяващ лабиринт, населен с човешка утайка.
Действието се развива бързо, понася се по опустошените улици, завлича наркомани, убийци, преследващи новата си жертва.
Джон Кларксън изписва с безмилостен усет за реалността страници, запълнени с герои от пресните таблоиди, уличен жаргон вибриращ от страха, изпълнил мрачната зона на големия град.

New Lots, Brooklyn second to the last stop on the L train. Hell
on earth for the people who have to live here. It's a twenty four
hour drug market with a warren of dark hallways and burnt out
apartments ruled by a gang of killers. Not even the police set foot
in this place. A war is raging here, a gang of Muslim Security people
have moved in determined to clean out the complex from the vicious
Blue-Tops a crack gang. People are being shot, beaten and the burned
bodies begin to multiply rapidly even by Brooklyn standards. The call
goes out for the one man who can stop it. NYPD Detective Loyd Shaw.
A man who has nothing to lose and the only one brave enough to enter
this place. This is an oldie from 1998 but it's non stop action from
front to rear.

This one features a new character, Loyd 1 L Shaw who's on his last legs with the NYPD. He's giving one more chance to put a team together to drive out the violent drug dealers in the New Lots section of town. Lots of violence, lots of action and a pretty decent crime story. It might have gone on a little too long, and a little over the top at the end with the old Damsel in Distress scenario but Clarkson knows New York and it's pretty well written.
FYI, this is NOT a Jack Devlin book as Goodreads describes it, this is a stand alone.
