Synopsis

Ash Levine, the top detective in the LAPD's elite Felony Special Squad, is called out to solve the murder of two young black men found shot to death in a Venice alley. The case is a high priority because one of the victims is the son of City Councilman Isaac Pinkney, a frequent critic of the LAPD. Searching for the killer throws Levine into the world of Los Angeles's Russian Mafia, Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans, and Middle Eastern archaeologists.

Ash's history as a child of a Holocaust survivor gives him a unique perspective on murder, redemption, and justice. His background as a paratrooper in the Israel Defense Forces, and his relentless, single-minded focus on his investigations make him a thoroughly absorbing character. As Ash closes in on the killer, the investigation becomes increasingly complex—and personal. Ash soon discovers that he is not just an investigator, but a target.

My rating of 3 stars is in hopes that his next one will be higher. He surely try hard enough in getting the plot convoluted. Mentioned every freeway name by number with even a character that was confused by the local freeway numbering system here in Los Angeles. The tall tale starts off with a trip......more

Ash Levine is an interesting and complex character. The author has provided him with an interesting back story, and enough Jewish culture to make for an interesting character.
