About this ebook
New York City, Summer 1963
Rookie beat cop Jack Meara is bleeding out on the dirty floor of a tenement hallway - next to the body of another cop. The eyes of the shooter burned into his memory. Meara watches and waits to see the shooter brought to justice, but, instead, "Tony Boy" Maiella climbs up the Mob ranks, slipping off indictments as easily as his designer overcoat. But on the eve of his retirement, Meara decides on one last kamikaze-like try to even the scales of justice.
New York City, 1983
Rookie detective Ronnie Valerio finds himself unknowingly pulled into the wake of Meara's quest. A go-go palace bartender is being stalked, a body turns up in a neighborhood dumpster, machine guns blaze in the night, a New York bookie turns up dead in the Jersey Pinelands and the only thing they all have in common is, in one way or another, they all tie back to Jack Meara.
How far does a cop go to even a score? How far does a brother cop go to shield him? Is justice worth any price when the line between right and wrong blurs?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Median Gray by Bill Mesce Jr. Starts with praise from others about the book .Story starts NYC Aug 1963He is a new beat cop and walks a lot getting to know all the shop owners along his path.So real to life as he comes upon some really bad situations.Really true to life scenes when he gets shot-so descriptive!On the detective squad things are a bit safer years later.Love the investigation into a dirty cop, so cool to find the clues along with them...This would make an excellent movie because the script is already written and the scenes.Like this book because it tells me a bit about my father's job when I was very young and what they go through.Love the location, hidden gems, romance, sex, clues, mystery and how it all comes together.Received this review copy from the publisher and this is my honest opinion.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Median Gray is interesting. Mesce's writing style reminded me of something but I can't quite put my finger on it. The story was interesting, and the characters engaging. You get a bit wrapped up in the odd narration style and before you know it you're chapters deep and it's hours later. If you enjoy police procedurals, then this will be right up your alley. If you're more into straight thrillers this may not be your cup of tea.
