| 2. | Griffin, W. E. B. Final Justice(hardcover)
Putnam Publishing Group January 1, 2003 Hardcover; w/j used; both book/jacket very good
That there's an Establishment in any big city cop shop is no surprise, but the pols, police, press, and prosecutors who hang out together in W.E.B. Gr iffin's Philadelphia are so tightly connected that there's hardly any room to breathe in this Badge of Honor thriller. While a couple of minor charact ers from outside this old-boys' network make a few cursory appearances, plu s the obligatory perp, it's mostly an inside story about golden boy Matt Pa yne, Main Line scion and third generation cop who's just been promoted to H omicide, and his mentors, friends, and family. The perp is a clever psychop ath who rapes and murders his way across country while he's buying and sell ing exotic cars. Griffin fills in the story with plenty of carefully detail ed department procedures in this newest in one of his many bestselling seri es (Honor Bound, Men at War, Brotherhood of War, The Corps). Justice triump hs and, of course, there's plenty of hero worship and not a flawed cop on t he force, which won't surprise or displease the author's legion of true blu e fans.

| 3. | Griffin, W. E. B. Honor Bound (Audio))
Media Books Audio Publishing January, 1998 Audio Cassette used: good
3 hours; 2 cassettes; ready by Dick Hill Best known for his series Brotherhood of War and The Corps, Griffin's new WW II novel uses the relatively unexplored theater of South America as the backdrop for his fast-paced story of a father and son, conflicting loyalties and war. In late 1942, marine fighter ace Clete Frade, Army demolitions engineer Anthony Pelosi and electronics wizard David Ettinger are sent by the OSS on a top-secret mission to neutral Argentina: destroy a merchant ship that has been supplying Nazi submarines and raiders. But the projected raid is only the tip of the novel's iceberg. The U.S. is hoping that Clete will be able to influence his estranged father, an eminence grise in Argentine politics by the name of "El Coronel" Jorge Guillermo Frade, to throw his influence behind the Allies. Meanwhile, Luftwaffe ace Peter von Wachtstein heads to Buenos Aires to consolidate the Nazi position. The Frades are convincing central characters, whose developing father-son relationship anchors much of the novel's plot.

| 6. | Griffin, W. E. B. The Victim
Jove Books October 1, 1994 Mass Market Pa used; very good
book #3 in the "Badge of Honor Series" The "victim" of the title is a drug dealer named Tony DeZego, but this book's real victim is the reader, who is dragged through a flimsy plot that's overwhelmed by tedious, irrelevant details about the Philadelphia police department's uniforms, organization, chain of command and internal politics. The story revolves around two shooting incidents. In the first, an heiress is wounded and "mafioso scumbag" DeZego killed by a professional assassin. (The reasons for this unlikely pairing never become clear.) Later, a young police officer is found dead in a gutter. These two brief bursts of action notwithstanding, Griffin cannot be lured away from his fascination with the intricacies of policedom to bother solving the crimes. A paragraph tacked on at the end indicates that DeZego's assassin was killed when he bungled a job; the mystery of the murdered police officer quietly peters out.

| 8. | Griffin, W.E.B. The Murderers (Badge of Honor Novels (Audio))
Media Books Audio Publishing August, 1996 Audio Cassette used: good
3 hours; 2 cassettes; read by Dick Hill One challenge of series writing is to make each individual novel stand on its own, and Griffin almost succeeds with this fast-paced slice-of-cop-life entry in his Badge of Honor series, the sixth volume overall (after The Assassin) and the first to be published in hardcover. The story, set in 1975, centers around the murder of Philadelphia policeman Jerry Kellog, perhaps committed by a corrupt cop because Kellog's wife, who's left him for another cop, has revealed that her husband's narcotics unit is dirty. Meanwhile, bar owner Gerry Atchison hires a small-time hit man to kill his cheating wife and his thieving business partner. Finding solutions to the three murders unites Giffin's huge cast of characters, among them high-profile detective Matt Payne and take-charge Sgt. Jason Washington, both of Special Operations. Heavy on the dialogue and action, with a touch of politics and a dash of soap opera, this swiftly paced novel has the feel of a breezy, expansive ensemble piece.
