Summary: Top Notch
Review: Undercover agent Val Duran, unaffiliated with any particular law enforcement agency, watches his best friend murdered by a crime network he's worked hard to infiltrate. Convinced they'll soon find out he's who he is, Duran flees to Los Angeles in part to save his life but also to plot revenge for his friend's death. Along the way, he gets tangled up in a romance he knew better than to start, which in turn gets him in deeper trouble with his girlfriend's severly dysfunctional yet very wealthy family.Eventually his relationship with the woman and his relationship with the crime ring come to a head to make a fantastic summer novel. Highly reccomended.

Summary: A decent "B" movie...
Review: Val Duran, our hero, works on the set of several B action movies, not unlike the book itself. It would have (and often reads like) a solid screenplay. There is not a lot of depth to the characters and frankly it is hard to care about them. There are some interesting points to each of them, but they are not explored. The ending was a good solid suprise, but it does not rescue what is a really a fairly interesting story, but no more. There are some laughs... This book was not a waste, but there are so many better thrillers out there...
