Gerald Petievich Poradie kníh
15. október 1944
Gerald Petievich patrí k tej malej skupine autorov, ktorí prišli do sveta kriminálnej fikcie z prostredia presadzovania práva. Jeho romány, čerpajúce z bohatých skúseností získaných ako armádny kontrarozviedčík a agent Tajnej služby USA, sa vyznačujú mimoriadnou vierohodnosťou. Téměř dosahujú skutočného realizmu v žánri detektívky a trileru, čo dokladá aj fakt, že podľa troch z nich vznikli významné filmové adaptácie. Jeho štýl je priamočiary, s dôrazom na detail a atmosféru, a jeho diela ponúkajú čitateľom autentický pohľad do zákulisia sveta, ktorý dobre poznal.

Detective Sergeant Jose Stepanovich is a member of a new elite gang suppression unit in the Los Angeles Police department. The unit has the verbal go-ahead from the mayor on down to do whatever is needed to end the gang's rule of this city. The members of the unit were picked because of their expertise in the ways of the gangs. They are able to think like their targets, anticipate their actions and often alter the outcome. But adopting the gang's thinking has a downside. Soon there's a little difference between the good guys and the bad in their savagery and vindictiveness. The unit is effective, but at a cost. And the cost may be too high for the top brass to continue their support. Earth Angels delves into the darkest side of law enforcement, where duty becomes a double-edged sword and a man must face his own past and decide what is more important-his job, his convictions, or his life.
