Helpful Score: 3

This book is suspenseful not because of the action (although there is plenty of that), but because Hamilton invents believable characters that you will come to care about. The protagonist is a smart reporter who, in the process of investigating a murder, comes across a prostitution ring run by Asian gangs. The author handles what could be a sensational topic with sensitivity. This book reminded me of George Peleconas' work because it paints such a believable picture of a city's dark side, in this case LA. Can't wait to read the next installment in this series.
