New York Fiction at Its Finest

Ira Berkowitz has written a thriller about New York. And like the City itself , it's got everything- the good , the bad, the ugly, the commotion, the good guys, the bad guys- and of course,lots of cops. If you like the texture, the anger. the action, the chaos, the complication, and the passion of the great city then Old Flame is a must read. I could not put it down

Berkowitz does it again

When I finished reading "Family Matters," Berkowitz's first Jackson Steeg novel, I was intrigued by this off-beat detective and looked forward to reading more books about him. "Old Flame" did not disappoint. Berkowitz's skillfully crafted portrayals of the key characters in the book brought each of them to life and put the reader into the heart of the story. "Old Flame" is a page turner. I recommend it not only to detective story aficionados, but to all those who appreciate reading a well-written novel.

Terrific voice

I just couldn't put this book down once I started it. Ira Berkowitz has written this great voice-- a real New York character, yet not a caricature at all. The plot was clever and the setting realistic, but what really kept me staying up late and turning the pages was this character's voice. Can't wait to read Berkowitz's first book.
