Re-reading

[owlectomy]

I had forgotten the part in Fake where good-hearted rookie cop Ryou decides to blow up a drug kingpin's house. And succeeds, and there are basically no bad consequences. I live in Flatbush, I am not naive about the benevolence of the police, and no doubt I have watched far too much Law & Order, and to be sure this was written pre-9/11, but...

Wow, that reads a lot differently when it's about a vicious vigilante killer.
