Amazon.com Review
Jan Orator is selected known arsenic the author UN agency gave life to Irene Kelly, the sassy, a bit hard-edged southern California journalist with a Pandoran penchant for getting herself into sticky situations. Her latest novel, notwithstanding, perches adroitly on a tangential narrative branch: Burke focuses on Kelly’s husband, Las Piernas Detective Frank Harriman, and in doing so turns her narrative color wheel several notches to the darker loin.
Flight is really the story of two men, Harriman and Philip Lefebvre. Ten years ago, once businessman Trent Randolph and his daughter were murdered, Lefebvre was the officer in charge of the armour. Moody and isolated, he became not simply investigator merely guardian angel to Randolph’s young son Seth, left clinging to life after the attack. His colleagues and the community were convinced Whitey Dane, a local mobster near grand ambitions, was behind the murders, but when Seth was killed in his hospital furniture and both Lefebvre and every the evidence against European disappeared, the branch was left reeling in the get up of crooked-cop iniquity.
Just nowadays Lefebvre’s apparently sabotaged plane has been discovered in the mountains, along with his maraca. Frank Harriman must ease finished a maze of choler and recrimination as he pursues the possibility of Lefebvre’s innocence. But if this cop was innocent, that means other one wasn’t–and that individual module stop at nothing to protect his guilty secret.
The novel’s opening chapters, which place the original murders in stark comfort and reveal the trap tardily closing around Lefebvre, are As good as anything Burke has written–maybe better. Their severity is difficult to match, but Harriman’s investigation still has plenty of surprises, plus a nifty bun at the extremely end. Flight‘s solid lettering, deftly nuanced relationships, and delicate bad-guy balance between chilling and camp are as on target here as elsewhere. Here’s to Irene and Frank; long may they take turns at the wheel. –Kelly Flynn
