This is the eighth novel in Griffin’s Badge of Honor series and the third that I have read. As usual with Griffin, you do not have had to read the preceding novels, as he more or less tells you everything that has happened so far, and all you lose is the fun of reading all the details. Still, this is the sequel to The Investigators, and I would recommend reading that one before this, if only to get the continuity. This one again features Matt Payne, here promoted to Sergeant in the Homicide Division, but includes all the other characters that rum through the series and also introduces a few new ones, with a hint that we will see them again in the sequel to this book—the very luscious Officer Olivia Lassiter and the equally attractive Terry Davis, who is a promotional agent for Stan Colt, a somewhat egotistical movie star. As usual, too, this novel includes all of the things that I find wrong with Griffin--his penchant for using full names preceded by long official titles, simulated reproductions of published text, etc.--but, as I have said before, all that pales in view of the fact that he tells a good story. I could not put the book down, even though there were many other things I wanted to do and had to do. The book starts off by introducing us to a truly nasty pervert who enjoys terrorizing women all over the country as a hobby, along with two murderous young blacks who engage in wanton killing as part of their stickup routine, together with a postcard from a murderer who jumped bail and fled the country years ago. Isn’t this a great way for Matt to start his first day as a Sergeant? What he gets stuck with, however, is the task of babysitting a visiting movie star who has come for a visit to raise money for the Catholic high school but has a penchant for very young girls; Matt’s job is to prevent fans from tearing the clothes off the movie star, while simultaneously making sure the movie star does not take the clothes off any young ladies. I have heard servicemen who were in the Pacific in World War II who protest that the war was nothing like what Griffin described; I suspect most members of the Philadelphia Police department would assure us that current-day police work is nothing like this, either--but it’s a hell of a good story.
