Train Man by P. T  Deutermann.  " From the first chapter, which deals with more detail than anyone should (ever) need to know about blowing up a bridge to the last climatic confrontation, this novel literally moves with the speed of a train wreck.  The elements of political intrigue within the FBI--(including) gender equality--and animosities between federal agents and local law enforcement personnel are woven together (into) a very interesting and highly entertaining story."  Well researched and detailed.  (regular print)

Cold Service by Robert B. Parker.  When Spenser's long time partner and friend Hawk is shot by the Ukrainian Mob and nearly dies, Spenser lays the groundwork for revenge for him and Hawk.  But Hawk wants more than revenge; he wants payback--not only for himself, but for the lone child left from a family he was protecting that was killed as he was shot.  Spenser and Hawk's relationship at its best.  (regular print) (Spenser series #32)

Quinn by Iris Johansen.  Former Navy SEAL and now FBI agent, Joe Quinn is in love with Eve Duncan, a forensic sculptor.  Eve is caught in her dual desire to find her missing daughter and discover the truth behind her disappearance.  This book is #2 in the Eve, Quinn, Bonnie, Trilogy which explains so much about Eve's past, present and future.  In Eve the story is told from her viewpoint.  In Quinn the story is told from his viewpoint.  This is important to remember while reading--otherwise the two books may seem too repetitive.  Fans of Iris Johansen's Eve Duncan series will be pleased to learn more about these relationships.  (large print) (Although this is its own trilogy, there have been 11 previous books in the Eve Duncan series.)
