The Syndicate (Lawson the Fixer #4)
by
Jon F. Merz (Goodreads Author)
The Council believes vampires can coexist with humans. Some vamps disagree. That's where Lawson comes in. He's a Fixer. When a nosferatu gets ideas about taking over the world, it's his job to take them out. Lawson is ordered to track Cosgrove, whose victims' blood gives him strength and agility Lawson can't combat--unless he resorts to Cosgrove's methods.

Yay! Now we're talking. This, book 4, is the best in the series so far. I just finished the third book a short while ago and felt it wasn't as good as the others.
However, still intrigued by the fantastic Lawson character, I moved on to book 4--and its stellar! Everything that's great about this series--wit and humor, adventurous tough guy facing a conspiracy plot, fighting and martial arts, supernatural urban fantasy, romance--and lets not forget the fantastic plot twists--its all here and its...more

In this vampire book in which almost nothing vampiric occurs, it seems as if the characters were made vampires so they would be more interesting. The story was fair, the writing fair at best--sometimes poor, particularly some of the dialogue, and the characters poorly done.
Perhaps making the main characters in a book into vampires, with the powers and problems this entails. makes them and the story more interesting for some readers but this alone is insufficient. There are some vampire books whi...more

I think that I'm inclined to agree with the reader below who said this was the best in the series so far. This is book four so don't jump in here.
I love the character development that has gone into Lawson. Merz has done an amazing job of building up his personality, quirks and all.
I'm a little disappointed to see that the next story is a novella of 25,000 words for the same price as lots of full length novels. Just gives me heartburn.
Okay, so who wouldn't like a storyline that combines Vampire...more

Jon Merz has so quickly and easily become one of my favorite authors. His writing style is so much like that of Robert Parker that I suddenly feel the need to go back and finish reading all the Spenser books. However, at the rate Mr. Merz is churning out prose these days I may not have the time. Honestly, if I'd had the time, I probably could have read The Syndicate in one sitting. This one is not my favorite in the series, but still a great read and definitely worth picking up. My only frustrat...more
Really like Jon's writing style. His characters are interesting to follow. You feel like you know each one of them personally. The action is fast paced. I think this is the best book in the Vampire Lawson series. Planning to read #5 next.
I liked it, but the books seem to be getting shorter as we go along...
Oh yes! Mr. Merz has quite a way with the words, or rather he has the power to give this to his character. Each book I read in this series gives me more appreciation for this author's skill level.
