Fear's Justice Mass Market Paperback – December 1, 1998. by. Marc Olden (Author). Olden wrote a very interesting "steampunk" type novel in the early '80s, Poe Must Die. He's well-read and slips a lot of literary references into the racist, sexist internal monologues of his tough police detective antihero, Fear Meagher. I found myself wishing I'd kept a notebook of all the great wisecracks and one-liners in this quintessential New York story. Even though Meagher is a bigot with a heart of gold, I kept wondering if anyone but old white guys would find his jokes all that funny. I did, but I wasn't particularly proud of it.

New York police detective Fear Meagher may be a good cop, but he's far from perfect: racist, sexist, willing to bend the rules to break a suspect.

As Fear gets conned, manipulated by City Hall, beaten up and nearly killed in a series of suspenseful scenes, Olden has him rescue and bond with a radical black woman reporter whose life is jeopardized by her own digging into the case; but many readers may scorn this as a patent attempt to win sympathy for Fear, who might as well be called.

Author of forty published books, most in the suspense-thriller category, Marc Olden was recognized since the beginning of his career as a masterful crime novelist

Author of forty published books, most in the suspense-thriller category, Marc Olden was recognized since the beginning of his career as a masterful crime novelist. His first work of fiction, NARC, was a series of nine novels about a federal narcotics agent. During his prolific early years Olden also produced the BLACK SAMURAI series which followed the exploits of Robert Sand, a martial arts expert and the only non-Japanese trained by a Japanese samurai master. It was later made into a film, starring Jim Kelly.

A Japanese serial killer terrorizes New York, opposed only by a karate-savvy copIn the dojo, Manny Decker learned that training, focus, and cold discipline could make a man more dangerous than any weapon. His skill with his fists was useful in the US Marines, and served him even better afterwards, as a cop walking a tough New York beat. To fulfill an ancient rite of vengeance, two druids descend on New York CityOut for kicks on a dull summer night, a few Puerto Rican boys wander Central Park. Drunk, high, and bored they hack at an old oak tree, and they don't notice the white-haired couple appear behind them.

When Fear Meagher, an old-fashioned, middle-aged police officer, investigates the murder of his lover, Linda, a detective married to a corrupt cop, he discovers that the supposed culprit, a homeless Black man, may have been set up by fellow cops working as freelance vigilante assassins

This is one mean cop, the author takes the somewhat tired standby and doubles the nastiness and hatred to get a character that seams new. I thought the character was a personal embodiment of the bad parts of NYC from the 80's - at least for us who did not live there, our nightly news painted picture. This book is a fun, gritty book that has a very fast pace - - similar to watching a Die Hard movie, it is going to give you fast paced action and a satisfying ending. The characters are a bit one sided but it works in the book. This is not a character study with rich insights to the people, but an action thriller and gets up and moves.

Olden wrote a very interesting "steampunk" type novel in the early '80s, Poe Must Die.

I found myself wishing I'd kept a notebook of all the great wisecracks and one-liners in this quintessential New York story. Even though Meagher is a bigot with a heart of gold, I kept wondering if anyone but old white guys would find his jokes all that funny. I did, but I wasn't particularly proud of it. Also, the novel is already slightly dated, since it plays on middle class white fears of a black, liberal administration "losing control of the city," a situation that has changed completely with the Meagher-like Rudolph Giuliani in office.

After having read 2 mediocre mysteries I really needed a winner- and this book is that- very well written, characters multi dimensional - the story transports the reader to the mean streets of NYC- no work of art- rather a very intriquing way to spend the 4 or 5 hours required to finish the book. Olden is a major find for me.
