But........ 4.0 out of 5 stars Mike Romano Returns , March 23, 2011 By D. Ward - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) This review is from: Worms in the Apple (Paperback) This is the second installment in what I hope is a long series of novels. Oddly familiar and realistic, I can't help but feel as though I am there, in New York, with Mike trying to sift the Worms out of the Apple. I also wonder if the fictional names were created to protect the "not so" innocent.
