New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1996. 1st Edition. Hardcover_cloth spine. Good/Very Good. 6.5"x9.5" 377 pages. X-library w/graphics. First printing. Periwinkle blue with a fly blind stamped on front board. Navy cloth spine w/gold foil letters. Navy paste downs. Moderate wear w/moisture stain on heel of spine. Spine straight, binding tight, pages clean w/soft tone. Secure ship w/track #. The creator of Kay Scarpetta, the most fascinating character in contemporary crime fiction, now cunningly reveals the heart and soul of a metropolitan police department. With Charlotte as her simmering background, she propels us into the core of the force through the lives of a dynamic trio of heroes: Andy Brazil, an ambitious younger reporter for The Charlotte Observer and an eager - sometimes too eager-volunteer cop; Police Chief Judy Hammer, the professionally strong yet personally troubled guardian of Charlotte's law and order; and her deputy chief, Virginia West, a genuine head-turner who is married to her job. To walk the beat with Hammer, West, and Brazil is to learn the inner secrets of police work - the tension and the tedium, the hilarity and the heartbreak, the unexpected pump of adrenaline and the rush of courage that can lead to heroics ... or death.
