Praise for the NYPD Negotiators Series

“Tense and tightly plotted, Exit Strategy pulls you in and doesn’t let go. A compelling page-turner.” —Marc Cameron, New York Times bestselling author, on the NYPD Negotiators series

“An energetic series launch… Convincing descriptions of New York City neighborhoods and police tactics, along with flashbacks full of Italian family lore, compensate for some stilted dialogue and heavy-handed action. Fans of contemporary police procedurals will hope to see a lot more of the capable Gemma.” – Publishers Weekly on Exit Strategy

“A compelling, dramatic story while using the protagonist’s family background as motivation. Readers who love the TV show Blue Bloods, with its family of cops, will relish this launch.” —Library Journal on Exit Strategy

“What a rush this riveting, edge-of-the-seat thriller is! It is a fast-paced novel set in a jail on Rikers Island that demonstrates the author’s talents with setting, dialog, excellent characters, and suspense that does not quit.” —Open Book Society on Shot Caller
 
“The attention to detail, the psychological thought process of the police and antagonist, and the tidbits about an Italian family make for an interesting read.  But the story is also riveting with its suspenseful, fast-action pace.” —Crimespree Magazine on Exit Strategy
