Praise for Steven Torres and the Precinct Puerto Rico Series "Fast-paced, nonstop action."- "Publishers Weekly" on "Death in Precinct Puerto Rico: Book Two" "This is a most promising start to a new procedural series that stars a dedicated, sensible 'hero' in an almost quaint but decidedly unique locale. Strongly recommended."- "Library Journal" (starred review) on "Precinct Puerto Rico: Book One" "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) on "Precinct Puerto Rico: Book One" "Fascinating and satisfying. Torres's characters are authentic and his story is absorbing...the bonus is the window he offers into rurual Puerto Rico."- S. J. Rozan, author of "Absent Friends" "Accurate and well-crafted...Torres's work is in the tradition of popular literature that teaches us even as it intrigues and excites us."- Henry Cisneros, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and president of Univision, on "Burning Precinct Puerto Rico: Book Three" "An excellent series...a gritty, street-smart procedural."- "Booklist" on "Burning in Precinct Puerto Rico: Book Three" "Atmospheric...comparable to what Tony Hillerman does for the Southwest, Steve Hamilton for Upper Michigan, and James W. Hall for Florida."- "South Florida Sun-Sentinel" on "Burning in Precinct Puerto Rico: Book Three"Torres, Steven is the author of 'Missing in Precinct Puerto Rico', published 2006 under ISBN 9780312321116 and ISBN 0312321112.
