A one-man crime wave is shaking the peaceful city of Santa Maria, California, and no place is safe. Kenny Trask, an unpredictable, high-strung, shockingly violent convict, has just escaped from prison and is intent on putting together enough cash to bankroll a new life for himself, his ex-cellmate, and the female defense attorney he believes they must “rescue”. Only one man is willing to stand in the way.

The brass decide to assign a new partner to spy on him.Taggart's new partner discovers a society dependent upon unwritten rules. To break these rules is to lose respect.

Four bodies, each with a single bullet wound in the back of the head, stacked like cordwood in a weed-choked vacant lot: That's the front-page news facing Carter Ross, investigative reporter with the Newark Eagle-Examiner. Immediately dispatched to the scene, Carter learns that the four victims - an exotic dancer, a drug dealer, a hustler, and a mama's boy - came from different parts of the city and didn't seem to know one another.

L.A. police detective Shane Scully comes under investigation by Internal Affairs (derisively known as "the tin collectors") after he kills his ex-partner who was one of the mayor's bodyguards. Temporarily reassigned, so that he can remain under the department's watchful eye, Scully finds that more than his badge is at stake when he is set up to take the rap in a deadly plot of corruption and conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of the LAPD.

In Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights, Brooklyn - neighborhoods notorious for drugs and violent crime - some of the worst criminals wore police uniforms and carried badges. Henry Winter was a good cop when he first entered the infamous 77th station house, which was already infamous as a home to the dregs of the NYPD. Before long he and fellow officer Anthony Magno found themselves deeply entrenched in the Alamo's culture of extortion, lies, corruption, and crime.

In 2001, Paul Bacon was a typical young New Yorker: hip, liberal, overeducated, a little aimless. But then 9/11 happened. Hearing a call to duty and lacking any better employment options, he joined the NYPD, with the earnest hope of making his hometown a safer place. Silly him.

He’s exiled by his superiors to one of King City’s most notorious and violent neighborhoods - a poverty-stricken, gang-ridden hellhole known as Darwin Gardens. It’s a de facto death sentence. But Wade doesn’t fight the potentially fatal reassignment. With just two rookie officers to help him, Wade does the only thing he’s wired to do: his job.

So when not one but two grisly murders threaten to wreck Mayor Jim Whitlow’s town, not to mention his political ambitions, he and Police Chief Naomi Robinson enlist the help of local residents and retired FBI agents Chris Gordon and Vic Thompson to help them catch the serial killer. But every clue seems to lead to more questions than answers. Outside help causes tension on the force, and Chris and Vic find themselves once again battling the inter-agency drama they thought they’d left behind.

Entertaining way to learn a bit about NOLA
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed listening to a real person's experience doing their job. I'm fascinated by the insights of someone who has worked as an officer and how it effects their lives and families. I was able to almost see and smell the city as I read of a place I've never had a chance to visit. Warren has a way of writing that draws you in and keeps you wanting to hear what happens next. His humor is unrivaled. Can't wait to listen to another of his writings.

Fascinatingly Great!
Many people would love to hear from an insider and the stories that only police officers' could possibly know. Warren Pope brilliantly tells many of the stories that only a fly on the wall could confirm. You'll be surprised and astounded. You'll experience sympathy and empathy at different times. You'll want to cry at times but can't help but laugh. A wonderful glimpse into the life and culture of a young cop in the Big Easy. A cultural classic that you won't want to put down.
