There has been some recent positive discussion here by Bruce
and Jim re: Ken Wishnia's books. I echo the sentiment. This
title (reprinted by Point Blank Press) involves an
American-Ecuador police officer in NYC named Filomena
Buscarsela. My reading experience is Fil grows on you as a
character. She's a tough, tenacious, and independent gal who
aspires to become a detective. There's enough police work
given ere to make this a semi-procedural. Fil's unsettled
past in Ecuador is given via her long, frequent musings. The
pace picks up near the end with a satisfying climax. I'll
read more in the series to follow her interesting character
development.
