Just as with his remarkable military novels, millions of readers have been captured by the rich characters and vivid realism of Griffin's police dramas. Now, in Final Justice, Detective Matt Payne -- newly promoted to Sergeant and assigned to Homicide -- finds himself in the middle of three major assignments. The first, a fatal shooting at a fast-food restaurant, seems simple, but rapidly becomes complicated. The second begins complicated and only gets more so, as Payne becomes involved with a local guru who has fled the country, leaving behind the mutilated body of his girlfriend in a trunk. And, as if that weren't enough, the self-absorbed star of a series of improbable movies comes into town -- and it is his presence that will complicate Payne's life most of all. Filled with color and detail and plots as real as the headlines, this is a riveting novel of the men and women who put their lives on the line, from the cop on the beat to the commissioner himself.

One of the best in this series "The cops", a winner for Griffin. One of the most compelling charachters is "Matt", the young leutenant new to the force. His 'over the top' manner and somewhat wild personal life somehow manage to not wreck his work in the force, where he is admired for his quick mind and gun. One of the best episodes, features a realistic and spine-tingling account of a robbery at an after hours restaraunt. Many other chachters are well drawn, such as the young photographer who befriends the police in thier search for the truth. A good read fer sure!
