Honors and Accolades for Steven Torres and His Precinct Puerto Rico Series Precinct Puerto Rico: Book One--included in Best Books of 2002, Mystery Category, by Library Journal Precinct Puerto Rico: Book One--included in Best Mysteries of 2002 by January Magazine "This is a most promising start to a new procedural series that stars a dedicated, sensible 'hero' in an almost quaint but decidely unique locale. Strongly recommended" --Library Journal (starred review) "A top-notch police procedural whose engrossing details create an authentic feel. Terse, deadpan prose, believable characters, and an offbeat setting add up to a promising series kickoff." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A mature thriller that combines the procedural detail of Ed McBain's 87th Precinct novels with the small-town warmth of Steven Havill's Bill Gastner series. A fine debut that will leave readers clamoring for an encore." --Booklist (starred review) "An exciting first book in a promised police-procedural series...In five or ten years, Steven Torres may have done for Puerto Rico what Tony Hillerman did for the American Southwest and Ed McBain for a fictionalized Manhattan. But don't wait until then. Read Torres now." --January MagazineTorres, Steven is the author of 'Death in Precinct Puerto Rico', published 2003 under ISBN 9780312289898 and ISBN 0312289898.
