Overall I liked this book, and it kept me looking to turn the next page, thus the 4 star. The descriptions were good and not too frequent where it could have slowed the pace down. Some of the explainations seemed a bit unplausible at the end, but that's fiction. Author wraps it up nicely in an understandable fashion. To other crime story readers like myself - I think they would like it. ...... HRTN22

Very interesting but emotionally uninvolving

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2004

When his daughter is kidnapped, ex-cop Eddie Dunne resolves to bring her back, not matter what it takes. He hears a rumor that a Russian mobster is involved and firebombs his Rolls Royce--and is completely unfazed when the FBI tells him that human remains were found in the car. For Eddie, his daughter matters and nobody else amounts to anything. Eddie thrashes around, beating up people, shooting them in the feet, and getting beat up himself, but doesn't seem to be getting anywhere. Until he comes across evidence of a Lesbian affair involving the Russian mobster's wife. That's when things really get nasty.
Author Ed Dee writes with a noire style. New York is gritty, dangerous, and filled with criminals--and the cops are worse. Although a kidnapped daughter is a potentially emotional event, Dee's writing holds the reader back from emotionally identifying with the character. None of the characters in the story are truly innocent and none engage the reader in anything other than horror.
Dee is a retired New York police lieutenant and clearly knows his law enforcement. The police procedural details make the story feel real. THE CON MAN'S DAUGHTER is an interesting story. Dee's writing makes you want to find out what is going to happen next--it just doen't make you care much about whether it happens to Eddie, his daughter, or anyone else.

Somber, Gritty, Well-Paced: Makings of a Good Novel

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2014

What’s most striking about Dee’s novel is how carefully constructed it is. Each decision the protagonist Eddie makes ricochets off the other, leading to more questions. Dee strings us along here without giving off the sense we’re being intentionally manipulated as readers. He accomplishes this through an established sense of intimacy with Eddie. The stakes here are unrelentingly high. They are simple – his daughter Katie’s life on the line – yet complex in how Eddie responds, how he will stop at nothing to get her back, how determined he is, the duty he feels toward his daughter and the guilt attached to whether or not he can get her back. The vigilantism he takes up comes across as upright yet compromised. We root for him while at the same time understand his flaws. Oftentimes in crime or thrillers, the past comes back to haunt the protagonist, and that’s certainly the case here, overlaying very neatly and somberly, the past onto the present. Eddie is an ex-cop, and we get the sense that the kidnapping may be connected to his past and his involvement with the mafia. For every answer we get, there’s a subsequent question, again, Dee’s expert pacing at work. Without giving anything away, of course the past comes back to haunt Eddie, as expected, and it makes us call into question how culpable he is for his actions, both past and present. A gritty, well paced, mysterious, and somber story that leaves the reader constantly questioning Eddie, his past, and present, and how they intersect.

A relentless hero scours New York

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2004

Dee, a retired NYPD Organized Crime lieutenant, sets aside his series cops, Anthony Ryan and Joe Gregory ("14 Peck Slip," "Nightbird"), to deliver a taut, intense thriller featuring ex-cop, ex-boxer, ex-Russian mob courier, ex-drinker, and ex-brawler Eddie Dunne.
"The sins of Eddie Dunne's past returned on a cold morning in April, more than four years after he'd turned his life around." For those sins, someone snatches Eddie's daughter, Kate, while he's walking the delight of his life, his granddaughter, Grace, to school. Eddie knows it's got to have some connection to the Russian mob, but what?
Not one to hang around thinking (a character trait that usually, but not always, works for him), he goes after his old Russian boss, who points him to the new boss, Borodenko. Eddie firebombs the man's car to get his attention and that night someone slings Eddie's crooked ex-partner's severed head at his front door.
The feds jump into the mix, looking to trade for Russian mob secrets. Eddie will take any help he can get, but knows he's mostly on his own. Dee's Russians are truly, badly scary and the tangled plot material - Russian medicare fraud, gas tax schemes, car smuggling, money laundering and murder; FBI wiretaps and deals; crooked cops, and Italian mafiosi rip offs - feels as authentic as it is fascinating.
But the engine powering this story is Eddie. Relentless Eddie proves unstoppable. Even he doesn't know what he might do next. With his keen intelligence, and deep, but not self-pitying, regrets, this fearless implacability makes him a rivetting protagonist.
From Coney Island to the Dunne family Irish bar in Yonkers, Dee knows the sociopaths, con-artists, grimmer corners and old neighborhoods of New York. His characters, from 6-year-old Grace to the incomprehensible ruthless Russians, live and breathe on the page. A terrific read.
