Want to see what soldiers and cops genuinely think? This tells a better more acurate story than any nonfiction. Anderson is a rare talent.
The cops life described here is harsh and brutal as looked at here in the 70's.
Kent Anderson is a great writer who takes you to the seedier side of town, deep into the no-man's land of crime and punishment.
His realistic look at a survivor of Vietnam, war veteran-turned cop Hanson, is an engaging character who fights his inner demons as well as his town.
I usually don't even read this type of novel, but this one was riveting and so harsh, you couldn't help but keep reading throughtout the days and nights to its climax.
A must read for those who like something more than crime drama, but is in fact a look into a man's head who is fighting his inner demons.

Way out there but very good read
Loved it, a dark, brooding book about a Vietnam vet dealing with the ghosts of his past and dealing the with the reality of the streets as a cop. It's not a clear cut good guy/bad guy book, but the justice Hanson dispenses is street justice. If you liked "Sympathy for the Devil" you'll like this!
