I started reading this book last night.  I ended up staying up reading the whole night, because I just could not put it down.  Thank goodness today is Saturday!  I don't really want to go into the plot, as I don't want to spoil it for anyone.  Suffice it to say, Josh Lanyon is the master of telling a story through the perspective of one character, and he does so here with his usual brilliance.  You get pulled in immediately, when Griff shows up at the Arlington's Long Island estate to start his in-depth research on his book.  Lanyon takes you on a ride with many twists and turns throughout the story, which leaves you feeling quite satisfied at the end.

As usual, Lanyon draws deep and engaging characters, giving a good glimpse into the psyches of even some with relatively small roles in the story.  The dynamics of the interactions between the varying personalities always feels unforced and true to life.  The relationship that builds between Griff and Pierce is certainly not an easy one, but it is quite rewarding to watch it develop.  Even as they verbally duel towards the beginning of the story, the chemistry between them is palpable.

They mystery itself is well thought out.  And even when you think you know what's going on, it will never quite be as clear cut as you may assume.  Lanyon's mysteries are always entertaining, and will usually throw unexpected curves in the road.  This was Lanyon's first full-length novel in a while, and it was a fantastic addition to an already awesome list!  I'm also super excited, because I've heard he's starting on the sequel to "Fair Game", one of my all-time favorites!!!!

I was late in watching this series - got the DVD's one at a time and recently started watching - and watching and watching ! It was so engrossing that I literally could not stop watching this incredible, true to life , gut wrenching series .
The writing is top notch , some of the best ever .  The characters are well-sketched and after five seasons you truly feel like you know them well .  The characters are multi-dimensional and it realistically portrays many of the " bad guys" , the gang members and drug dealers as pretty decent people with their own ethical code .Conversely , the cops aka the " good guys " are not all good - some are corrupt and unethical while many are driven  , honest and trying their best to clean up Baltimore - an insurmountable task .  I guess what I mean is that the writing in this show humanizes all the characters and is not stereoptypical at all . Many find Omar, who some may just view as a ruthless killer as one of the favorite characters on the show  - primarily because the characters are " fleshed out " and we come to know them more as just caricatures
 .  This show  is so gritty, raw and real  - it is particularly  relevant today with all the violence in Baltimore , Md .
I am shocked that it did not get the recognition it so well- deserved and only lasted five seasons . The acting is superb , the characters are so real and not just caricatures - you will become invested in their lives as if you know them well ,  believe me .
I only wish they would bring this series back and give it more exposure - I would be the first in line to watch this . I have highly recommened this show to family and friends and they all agree it is one of the ten best they tv series they have ever viewed if not  THE best !

Awesome series. It is amazing that they manage to keep you interested - without much happening on the screen  - just couple of people talking - sitting on a chair and a couch !! One might think , how exciting can that get - but its gripping. Acting, plots - and the mind games....!! The first few episodes of a teenage girl - with both hands fractured - was the height of challenge - to make it exciting/gripping with least action possible...!! Five stars!

Each one is only 30 mins...and that is good too.

Oh my goodness, what can I say? Ah, let me begin with the fact that I have delayed writing this review due to a lack of time and appropriate words to fully express what you are about to absorb as this story unfolds. I have always been a fanatic for espionage, intrigue and fast-paced plots that have your head spinning in an effort to keep up, if you feel the same as I... this is a must read. I did not, however, expect to feel as though I was a witness to torture nor suffer the loss of a lead character from the very beginning of the journey.

This is the story told in flashback of two black ops agents who meet and fall in love - even finding the normalcy to give life to two very precious children - while living in a whirlwind of secrets, deception, danger and the action that follows allowing for the personal freedom and security that 'we the people' feel to be only normal.

You will also find an interesting perspective as the author has you telepathically bouncing around inside the minds of a myriad of characters in a sometimes humorous game of thoughts vs. comments. Hang on while he pings you about... and it will keep you on the edge of your seat.

To sum this adventure up, it is a most enjoyable, detailed and action filled insight into a world existing silently alongside ours that the average person will never visit, not would most of us want to. And while the torture scenes will leave little scars on your neurons, the sacrifice of this family as well as many others makes this work a memorable mix of pain and pleasure.
I was thoroughly entertained... thank you, Mr. Wallace!

I was hooked from the beginning!!! I loved the chemistry between Yannick Bisson and Helena Joy which was proof of the superb acting! I absolutely loved how the writers threw in actual historical facts. I laugh at Constable George's "ideas" that have come to past in the future! We all at some point throw out "what if" ideas that we don't pursue and will probably be by someone else!  I'd finish each season in two nights or less! Can't wait for more seasons! Hurry!!!!!
