Boca Knights
A Review by: Louise Dewar
This is a delightful, feel-good page turner. The book jacket describes it as a “funny mystery novel”. It’s not even in the mystery ballpark, but it is funny. You can’t help but adore the hero, Eddie Perlmutter. He’s an ex cop from Boston who retires to Boca Raton...

Boca Knights
by Steven M. Forman
Eddie Perlmutter was always a street brawler, a “puny Jewish kid from the upscale suburb of Brookline,” Massachusetts, and from the time he was very young he wanted to be a cop. It is not too surprising, therefore, when he becomes first a boxer and then a cop, professions not high on his parents’ list of ambitions for their only child...

I have noticed something strange lately. I have never seen a book in which a murder takes place in Deerfield Beach or in Delray or in Pompano or in Plantation. But I have seen lots of books in which a murder takes place in Boca Raton. I have no idea why that is.
The latest in the series of detective stories set in Boca is Boca Knights by Steven M. Forman. It is a fast moving, suspense full story, and I recommend it to you if you are a detective story buff....

Book Reviewer
With his first-ever book, author Steve Forman has created a “monster.” I mean that in a very positive sense: In Eddie Perlmutter --- a pugnacious, highly decorated ex-cop from Boston who “retires” to Boca Raton to avoid the bitter cold winters that cripple the arthritic knees broken by run-ins with Boston’s criminal element --- Forman has come up with a literary character almost certain to end up on the motion picture screen…and Al Pacino would be perfect for the part...

A retired Boston cop, he's traded the cold streets of Boston for the sultry ones of Boca Raton. But he's about to discover that warmer doesn't mean safer, and a man with a strong sense of justice can't ever really retire...
