Cold City by F. Paul Wilson

3.0

I found the Repairman Jack books while browsing through Randy Wayne White and Susan Wittig Albert books. I decided to start with this - the first book in the prequel trilogy about Repairman Jack - hoping I would find a new author I would love. As with every new relationship - this may take some time. I enjoyed this first story - with Jack establishing himself in Manhattan - carefully meeting new friends. Jack has a strong sense of right and wrong that drives his behavior. He'll break the law when it's to his advantage - like making money delivering illegal cigarettes to New York City. But does his best to stop a sex slave ring that deals in young children.
Occasionally the writing felt like it was written by a sixth grader - and the book ends with five unresolved story lines. Still - I'll read some more of Repairman Jack to see what happens with him and his friends.
