This is the return of the Apaches--a cadre of controversial, adrenaline-junkie former NYPD cops, first introduced in Lorenzo Carcaterra's previous novel Apaches. In this sequel, set three years after the events in the first novel, the surviving members of the team reunite to continue their battle against crime. Their new adventure starts with the machine-gun murder of innocent bystanders in a Manhattan restaurant. This incident ultimately propels our heroes into an investigation of a Colombian drug cartel responsible for the selling and distribution of millions of kilos of cocaine. Joining the group in this mission are three new Apaches: Ash, a wounded female Hispanic cop with a specialty in arson investigations; Quincy, an HIV-positive recruit who is a specialist in forensics; and Bruno, a retired police dog who is a gold-shield detective, highly decorated for his skills at sniffing out illegal drugs. It's the Apaches versus the drug lords in an all-out New York City street war.

      There must be 50 characters in Carcaterra's book, and he's going to tell us about every single one of them. Beyond the tough talk, the endless posturing, the overabundance of similes and general overwriting, there's a good story. Good luck trying to find it. L.J. Ganser tries to move the story along, but with such a disparate cast of characters it's hard to keep a rhythm. Black, white, Hispanic, Russian, New Yawkers, there are enough people to cover three novels. The confusion shows, as plot lines are introduced, then forgotten, and abruptly picked up again. The main story is about a group of retired cops called The Apaches, who declare war on the underworld after one of the men's nieces is killed. Abridgment anyone? M.S.

      In the 1997 action thriller Apaches, Caraterra introduced ex-NYPD detective, Giovanni "Boomer" Frontieri, who brought together a band of cops, each forcibly retired due to a disability acquired on the job, to take down an insidious drug dealer. Now, three years later, Boomer has reassembled the two surviving members of his original crew in order to avenge the death of his niece, gunned downed during a drug-related hit. Joining the old guard are three newly damaged ex-officers (including a 125-pound Neapolitan bullmastiff named Buttercup), each looking for a bit of vigilante justice. When Boomer traces his niece's shooting to Angel, an ex-priest turned South American drug lord, he realizes the odds are stacked astronomically high against them, and reluctantly turns to some unexpected allies in organized crime. Apaches was a slam-bang ride gone full tilt on blood, bullets and bodies. Unfortunately, this bloated, overwritten sequel never captures the excitement of its predecessor, spinning its wheels with cardboard characters, testosterone-soaked dialogue and movie-style action sequences that defy physics and believability both.
