First and foremost, these books are real police/crime thrillers. Hightower is a great thriller writer and these early books show the same skill as her non-SF thrillers. Believable, heart-stopping action, great characters with understandable motivations and reactions. There's violence but the crimes serve the plots well (and they're not predicable and there are no tropes, which is a bonus) and the violent acts aren't gratuitous. The books are all from David Silver's pov - he's a police detective partnered with two cops: Mel (sarcastic and flirtatious) and String (an alien Elaki detective).
If you don't like your crime novels mixed with alien characters or technology, please don't be put off - these are great police/crime novels!
Highly recommended.
