I liked the authenticity of the police-work Nikki and her team did and I liked the thing she has going with Jameson Rook and look forward to exploring this a little more in the next book.
What I wasn't particularly a fan of was the continual use of Nikki's last name to identify her throughout the book, especially considering New York is experiencing a heat wave at the same time. I kept getting confused.
It didn't take away from the investigation and I would never have guessed who was behind it all.
Looking forward to reading more of the series (mainly for the romance)!

The plot: New York City policemen Nick (Michael Douglas) and Charlie (Andy Garcia) witness a murder in a bar and quickly apprehend the assailant. The killer, named Sato (Yusaku Matsuda), is a member of Japan's infamous Yakuza mob, and Nick and Charlie must transport the gangster back to Osaka for his murder trial. There, Sato's fellow gangsters free him from police custody, forcing Nick and Charlie to scour Japan's dangerous underworld of organized crime in search of their fugitive.
Watch it if you want to.
