Review
No one can write about cops-and-robbers like a real police officer. When they are good, they are very, very, good and Captain Neil Low is good as he magically captures another era in his new book: Thick as Thieves. Reading it is akin to stepping into a film noir, shadowy, smokey, and shocking. No one is whom he seems to be, and each unveiling heightens the pace of high tension. How could the Lindbergh kidnapping be connected to Seattle? Low’s vivid imagination makes one wonder… Why did the loyal son, bent on revenge, allow himself to sink into the enemy’s quagmire of betrayal and violence? This is a great book, alive with action, sometimes shocking in its scenes of forbidden sex, and unremittingly true in its characterizations. Set aside a few days to read it because you won’t want to stop! –Ann Rule, author of Too Late to Say Goodbye, Green River, Running Red, and The Stranger Beside Me.
Murder and justice. Sex and love. Greed and honor. This is a morality play in the tradition of Shakespeare’s ‘Richard III’ in which the line between right and wrong is as blurred as when one looks through the gray rain at twilight over Seattle’s somber hills. Neil Low, a veteran Seattle cop, has seen it all. –Lowen Clausen, author of The River
An inside look at the dark side of law enforcement from a bygone time. –Seattle Police Chief R. Gil Kerlikowske
