The Problem Of The Lost Radium Book

This first installment in the Shane Scully books captivated me from the first page. It's undeniable that this author has the talent and the experience to capture the reader's attention from the very first words on the page. From what I've read, Stephen J. Cannell, was a master story writer and successful screen-writer for many years.
In the Tin Collectors, we get to know LAPD Sergeant Shane Scully, who finds himself in a big mess after responding to a domestic disturbance, during his personal time, and ending up killing his ex-partner in self defense. It doesn't take long for Scully to realize he's being punished, if not set up because of his actions. It will take him courage and determination to get to the bottom of what is happening around him because of his actions.
I absolutely enjoyed this read. Admittedly, it doesn't provide the wonderful depth and wealth an Harry Bosch book does - in this genre Connelly is the best - but still, it has a great pace (and actions scenes), but also moments of self-reflection. I especially appreciated the letters Scully wrote to his father. A man he never knew. I can't wait to see if the next book is as thrilling.
