Dire Straits

I've been a cop in South Fl. for over 30 years, some of the time working homicide. It was a totally believable story set in areas that I know intimately. It was very enjoyable reading.

Exciting page turner!

This is one book you will not be able to put down. I purchased this book when I attended a book fair at which Mr. Frank was a featured author. I bought DIRE STRAITS and read it in two days. I intend to read every one of his books. As a former law enforcement officer, I appreciate his attention to authenticity and his depiction of the various personalities and issues present in a law enforcement agency. He has a new fan!

A book that reads like a movie.

A thrilling book. I couldn't put it down. The author writes in a way that makes it seem like a movie. I could picture each scene & event as if I was watching it in person. I had trouble putting the book down to go to work. All I wanted to do was to see what would happen next. Everyone interested in excitment & a visual treat should read this book.

What a thrill ride!

If you want a thriller you won't be able to put down, then pick up a copy of Marshall Frank's "Dire Straits." From beginning to end Frank takes you on a ride of thrills and adventure while intertwining a harrowing week for the three main characters. Not only does the author know how to tell a great story, but his characters come to life in the pages. I have to agree with Edna Buchanan--"'Dire Straits' takes your breath away."
