Product Description
Product Description
When narcotics cop Jack Walsh accidentally kills the son of Mafia boss Johnny D'Angelo in a drunken road accident his life is effectively over. But when he comes out of jail to begin a solitary existence in a small town, he finds there is no escape from the past. For D'Angelo honour dictates that Walsh is killed to avenge his son - and for the FBI, who up to now have been unable to nail the Mafia boss, Walsh is the perfect bait to pin a murder rap on him. With Mafia hit squads closing in and the FBI hoping to catch them in the act, Walsh has never been so alone - only the street cunning of a veteran cop and a small arsenal of weapons can save him.

Good, character-driven cop novel
13 Aug 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Abel's first at bat is a well plotted cop novel with complex character interaction. His writing is subtle (there comes a point in the book when you begin to understand where all the pieces he's laid before you are falling, and it's like WOW), but there's enough violence to keep things visceral. Check out his next, "The Blue Wall." It's even better than "Bait."

Greatest Turn of 20th Century Fiction since that hack Joyce
24 May 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is amazing! The story centers around Walch, good cop goes bad, simple story, right? With Abel's knack for twists, Bait ropes you in. Read it. Put down Ulysses. Read it. This is the new Noir! All hail Abel!

Absolutely no action in this book!!
21 July 1999
Format:Hardcover
When reading the summary on the book jacket for this book I was expecting a real action oriented novel. Boy was I disappointed. There is absolutely nothing going on in this book. You get to hear a lot about Jack Walsh and his goofy brother. He meets some other goofy characters that help him along the way. Then you get to the big ending. Anyone who has ever read a suspense novel can figure out the ending in this book. Overall, not a very good book (but that's just my opinion). :-(
