A police chief betrays his code of honor to the Mafia and tries to persuade fellow officers to accept money from the Mob. Those who refuse are killed. Through all his miles along the hellfire trail, the Executioner has always looked on the police as soldiers on the same side. But Mack Bolan sees this lawman as a traitor, both to his badge and to Bolans cause. Will the warrior break his own rules to stop the corrupt cop?

Well while I have generally enjoyed this author's work in this series I would have to say that he left his best work for his last effort here in this one. The Big Guy is in town regarding rumours of something BIG which is about to occur as a result of information from Nino Tattaglia who if you are not sure is basically Leo's replacement undercover operative within the Mob and reporting back to Brognola. I enjoyed this title from the first page and found myself wrapped up in the story and carried along at a rapid pace which is always enjoyable reading one of these titles. Something BIG ? well without giving too much away the Mob are about to take over the Police Department lock stock and barrel and are very close to doing so when the Big Guy arrives in town. Lots of good reading to be had here until for me anyway we arrive at a section where an assassin trained to take down the Big Guy and dispatched from the Head shed latches onto his tail and off the title goes at a rapid pace. Which is good except it just goes on TOO long. Over and over they take shots at each other, over and over from location to location innocent people dragged into it and killed over and over again it just keeps going and going until well a change of the wind direction. Nah that section was a let down for me from the otherwise excellent title one star deducted. Apart from that minor gripe from your' s truly this is a fine read in the series and highly recommended reading.

Nice sense of place and a solid effort bring Bolan back to his mafia-fighting turf. Loved the cover, too: something I've felt the urge to do myself a few times. Of course, Bolan carries it out better. He's one bad mutha!

I really liked the way the villain meets his demise at the end of this book, this one is worth reading just to see what happens to him. Too bad Cunningham wrote his last Bolan, I like his stuff.

This was my first Bolan book. I like stories that have a dirty cop in them. I liked this one.

An excellent booh a twist to it. Bolan's oath put to the test. I really likk wited the trend that his early lone wolf days started having with him going after the mafia once again.

One of the standouts thanks to the premise and execution. I was left guessing until the end.
