It's rare that I find a book I can't put down, but I couldn't help myself with Project Death. It is such a compelling story that I found myself saying, "just a few more pages ..."

As Bertematti's Tito Rico recounts his story of murder and police corruption, one can't help becoming engrossed in the novel. So eager was I to learn more of Tito's story that I didn't even pause at the end of a chapter before delving into the next.

Snappy dialogue, vivid descriptions and Bertematti's crisp writing style keep "Project Death" moving at a pace so delightfully fast that there was barely time for me to stop and catch my breath. I can't wait to read more books from this author!

If you like Walter Moseley, you'll love this book. It's one of the best mystery/suspense novels I've read in a long time. The descriptions of the nether world of New York City are great and the action does not stop. I hope Bertematti continues producing more Tito Rico books.--CHRIS PUTTETTI
