The Force, Winslow - B +

                                               Stephen King compared it to 'The Godfather' and Lee Child said it "probably is the best cop novel ever written."  It is that good. Denny Malone is pushing 40, the son of a cop and the king of Manhattan North. Sgt. Detective Malone runs 'Da Force' and rules Harlem.  He dispenses justice, decides right and wrong,  life and death, who earns who doesn't, and most importantly, who stays on the streets and who goes to prison. He lives large, is the man and views himself as the the one who holds the precinct, if not the city, together. But, he's on the pad and knows he's really messed it up as it unravels because all he ever wanted to be was a good cop. I recommend this to all.
