I usually stay away from detective hero series. The first few are good but then fall prey to Rambo syndrome. You know, where one guy somehow saves the world with his pinky? Aaron Gunner, however, is one cool customer. Not Long for this World is still my all-time favorite, but this one is still a solid step in the right direction. It will make for a quick and pleasant weekend read into a world of racial tensions and backroom deals. I read the series out of order, so if you like this first title, you’ll enjoy the rest.
