This is the story of two female cops working for the Atlanta Police Department in 1974. It's Kate Murphy's first day on the job and she really wonders if she is cut out to be a cop. She is partnered with Maggie Lawson who after a couple of years on the job, still hasn't been accepted by the boys in blue, especially her brother and uncle who are both cops.
In the last few weeks, four police officers have been murdered by the Atlanta Shooter. Maggie's brother, Jimmy Lawson, carries his mortally wounded partner into the ER, claiming that someone shot at them. When Maggie listens to his story, she has questions; but Jimmy isn't talking. The police are hunting for a killer. Maggie and Kate start their own investigation into what happened in the alley where Jimmy's partner was killed.
This story shows the sexism, bigotry, racism, and corruption of the Atlanta Police Department in 1974. I believe I only found one male cop that didn't make me sick. Kate and Maggie are both great characters who showed they had what it takes to be a cop by the end of the book. After being told that female cops cannot be promoted to Detective, it was good to see Maggie and Kate figure out the identity of the killer. My rating: 4 Stars.
