Median Gray by Bill Mesce Jr.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Median Gray by Bill Mesce Jr. is as rough and gritty as it gets when detailing the streets of New York in the 1980s and a quest for revenge. The story begins however in 1963 with a rookie cop walking his beat, who comes upon a messed up situation, only to get shot himself. This incident begins the rest of the story 20 years later, and what a story it is. Gritty, realistic, fully capturing the essence of New York City in the most corrupt and dismal of times. The dialogue is perfect, rough and tumble, characters so real, you can almost touch them. With rampant corruption, it's sometimes hard to know who is the good guy or bad guy here as the author sets the stage, slowly and carefully. Nonetheless, the pace picks up, the plot gives you a few twists and turns, and the characters themselves, Ronnie, Big Sid, and more are so realistically described, so authentic. Great story, a bit grim at times, but full of intrigue and excitement. This police thriller definitely packs a punch. Highly recommend.
