Engsetterlover avatar reviewed on + 54 more book reviews


With Charlotte as the simmering background, Patricia Cornwell propels us into the core of the force with three heroes: Andy Brazil, an ambitious young reporter with the Charlotte Observer, an eager--sometimes too eager--volunteer cop: Police Chief Judy Hammer, the professionally strong yet personally trouble guardian of Charlotte's law and order and her chief deputy chief, Virginia West, a genuine head turner who is married to her job. To walk the beat is to learn inner secrets of police work -- the tension, tedium, the heartbreak and hilarity, the unexpected pump of adrenaline and the rush of courage that leads to heriocs..... or death.

Not of the Kay Scarpetta quality but interesting reading.
