Set in the 'City of Brotherly Love' in the early s it is chock full of homophobia, casual racism and sexism. Which is about spot on for Philly in the 70s. My appreciation is rooted firmly in personal ties Mickey's mother is a member of Good Shepherd Church, where I made my first holy communion and confirmation. The procedure is still heavy handed but by the end there is a decent plot going. View 2 comments. Dec 20, David rated it it was amazing. Another great entry in this series Nov 06, Michael C. Special Operations is the second entry in W. Griffin's Badge of Honor series and the sequel to Men in Blue. The series focuses on the Philadelphia Police Department. Being a sequel, Special Operations builds upon a lot of what is established in Men in Blue, the first installment in Griffin's Badge of Honor series. It is also the book in which we see Matthew M. Payne, now a rookie police officer assigned to the newly formed Special Operations Division of the Philadelphia Police Department, ass Special Operations is the second entry in W. Payne, now a rookie police officer assigned to the newly formed Special Operations Division of the Philadelphia Police Department, assume the role of protagonist for the first time. In subsequent entries in the series, Payne goes on to serve as the protagonist of the series as a whole, and a great deal of focus is placed on his career and his growth as a person and a law enforcement officer. This is the book that introduces readers to the basic format that all future entries in the series would adopt. The titular and fictional Special Operations Division herein is the glue that holds a large portion of the cast of characters together until Final Justice, and this book sees Inspector Peter F. Wohl, its commanding officer, and his staff pitted against a dangerous malefactor dubbed by the press "the Northwest Philadelphia Serial Rapist. Their investigation is tedious and, at times, downright boring, which reveals one of the major themes of the Badge of Honor series: that police work is not always a glamorous affair of car chases and shootouts. However, at least one person is killed in a hail of bullets before the book is over and done with. I am aware of the fact that many people disparage Griffin and his writing ability, targeting the Badge of Honor series in particular, for his apparent tendency to jam-pack his books with lots of "filler," and I do understand where they're coming from. There is a significant focus on detailing the histories of characters and settings, backstories, and previous events in the series itself. My response to that, though, is that none of these books are exceptionally long; most of the Badge of Honor series is less than five hundred pages, usually closer to three hundred or so. It has never taken me more than a week or two - tops! I shudder to think of what some readers would say upon being confronted with a doorstopper of the likes that Tom Clancy or George R. Martin have produced. The bottom line is that I enjoyed Special Operations and find it a pleasant change of pace when compared to the vast majority of crime fiction. It's a no-nonsense, very down-to-earth police procedural in novel format. I would recommend it for those with an interest in police work looking for a quick read. Final Rating: I really liked it. Jun 27, Diana rated it really liked it. Although this book was definitely a product of the times, it was a really fun read. It was interesting to see Matthew Payne before he was a hotshot cop in the department. It was nice to see that he started off just like everyone else, new and not having any idea what they are doing. There were a lot of funny moments that made me laugh, and it was interesting to see how all of the different relationships started out. I thought the way Pekach got together with his lady was adorable, although a bit Although this book was definitely a product of the times, it was a really fun read. I thought the way Pekach got together with his lady was adorable, although a bit like a soap opera. It was disappointing that the act of actually catching the bad guy took such a small part of the book, but it was definitely a satisfying end. I look forward to reading more books in this series. I had mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, the story it told and the characters in it were really interesting. I've liked most of what I've read or listened to by this author. The reader did a very good job. Also, the sex was not explicit and the violence was not graphic. On the other hand, there is a lot of profanity and I thought having both couples who had barely met hop right into bed was a bit incredible. Good series I like detective stories so this held my interest, also a good series to follow. Characters are interesting but I'm going to try and warm up to Matt. Not sure about him yet. Aug 12, Bill Donhiser rated it really liked it Shelves: adventure , read-books. As with all W. Griffin books, this book is very detailed. A well-written police procedural in the story and the characters are very good. Jul 26, Brian rated it really liked it. I liked this one a lot better than the first book in the series. I'm glad I stuck with it. Aug 23, TJ rated it liked it Shelves: mystery , classics. Quick easy read but still struggling w the sexism and blatant racism. Jan 28, Judy Green rated it really liked it. May 03, Bruce Gleba rated it liked it Shelves: griffen- web. For me it had way too much background on the police department and needed more story. Jul 13, Robert Berry rated it really liked it. Aug 27, Bill Yarbrough rated it it was amazing. Another great read by Griffin in the 'Badge of Honor' series. He gives enough detail to make the books interesting. Dec 21, Bryan Boswell rated it it was amazing. Possibly one of the greatest series of all time. My father read this and passed it down to me. Great reading. Feb 12, Jerry Mundt rated it it was amazing. Feb 13, William Walter rated it liked it. It read more like a tv script than a novel, but at least there was some character development along the way. Feb 16, E. Enjoyed this book. It had a good story line. Feb 21, Bill Fairchild rated it really liked it. My 2nd W. Griffin novel - very enjoyable. Feb 01, David rated it it was ok. This book is fairly dated. Written in the 's there are places it really shows its age. One of the places the age shows is in reference to gays. It certainly accurately reflects the period in its attitudes, but the cover proclaims it to be a new series when it is simply being republished. As a police procedural, I think Griffin gets most of it right. Griffin likes to create a specially organization, much as he did in the presidential agent series, that allows him to Create a group that other This book is fairly dated. Griffin likes to create a specially organization, much as he did in the presidential agent series, that allows him to Create a group that other groups are at odds with, but has the favor of an administration that promises the moon. In other words, this series, set in Philadelphia, was certainly a precursor to the presidential agent novels. This series appears to be little more than his creative writing practice for the next series For example, police attitudes about guns, overtime, etc are ll well and good. Overall, however, it falls on its face with its coincidental resolution, while I am certain that at times coincidence plays a part in capturing a killer, in a police procedural novel it is disappointing. Why have all of the fancy police legwork etc. In other words, the author manages to keep the reader turning pages until he reaches an ending that is sour, unsatisfying, and terribly disappointing. I will likely not give up on this series here.. Feb 27, Quillracer rated it liked it. Errors in automotive details jump out at me. Griffin has a big goof here one he commits twice! Again, Griffin gives us too much detail about the command structure and hierarchy of the Philadelphia Police Department. He tells it in small doses, but each one creates a hitch in the flow of the story as the reader wades through the information. This kind of detail may be fine for someone rea Errors in automotive details jump out at me. This same overload of detail applies to some of the characters. A police academy firearms instructor gets a two-page bio, then after performing his part, disappears never to be seen again.

Not only that, it is the most important. One of the most memorable story arcs from The Wire’s five seasons is the rise and fall of Hamsterdam—a quasi-legalized drug zone in West Baltimore. Stories are powerful teaching tools because they marry information and context. By seeing how the application of law affects characters we know and care about, we become more attune to the potential effects of legal decisions in the real world. The story of Hamsterdam—which is essentially an attempt to transform a black market into a fringe market—presents just such an opportunity. When considering the various dimensions of the fringe economy, life in Hamsterdam imparts three critical insights: (1) Markets arise wherever there exists market demand.
