Praise for Broken Trust
“Another sharp examination of crime and police work in
Philadelphia...Combine[s] great local color with cases that
illustrate the special challenges faced by cops in volatile urban
areas [and] shows us the politics of law enforcement in major
cities, where perception can be more important than crime
statistics...Griffin and Butterworth keep us turning pages without
resorting to excessive melodrama. Straightforward urban realism
mixed with characters we care about have kept their formula
fresh.”—Connecticut Post
“[Broken Trust] has many relevant themes intertwined with an action
packed plot...The novel offers a lot of insight into the lives and
challenges of the police.”—Blackfive.net
More Praise for W.E.B. Griffin and William E. Butterworth
“Griffin has the knack. With enviable skill he doles out humanizing
detail for a large and colorful cast, and you care what happens to
virtually all of them. Griffin is one of those writers who sets his
novel before you in short, fierce, stop-for-nothing scenes. Before
you know it, you’ve gobbled it up.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer
“If God is truly in the details, then Griffin must be the
pope of police procedurals. What’s amazing is that all these
factoids don’t slow down the story’s considerable momentum for a
minute. Nor do they keep Griffin’s gritty cops from convincing us
of their individuality.”—Publishers Weekly
“Fans of Ed McBain’s 87th Precinct novels better make room on their
shelves...Badge of Honor is first and foremost the story of the
people who solve the crimes. The characters come alive.”—The
Gainesville Times
“Speedy plotting, lively entertainment.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Griffin’s books sell millions. They deserve it!”—Houston Chronicle
