About “Detective”

A novel by Arthur Hailey was criticized for lacking attention to detail. The author incorrectly stated that karate black belts must register their hands, which is not required. He also referenced a gun registry in Miami, despite it being a felony in Florida to create such a registry. The book incorrectly described a Glock pistol as using a clip instead of a magazine. The novel also included a harsh attack on the Catholic Church and faith-based organizations. Critics found the plot unoriginal and weak.
