Deputy Charlie Hood, of the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department, is doing a stint with Internal Affairs and hating it. I signed up to throw the bad guys in jail, he complains to a sympathetic ADA. When she points out to him that some bad guys wear uniforms, its a truth that does little to dispel his sense that things are out of kilter: Cops should never have to chase cops. On the other hand, his investigation into the murder of Terry Laws, Mr. Wonderful to his fellow officers in the LASD, seems a case of an entirely different color: Cop killers should never be allowed to breathe free air. But the case darkens dishearteningly when the victim, a champion bodybuilder and estimable citizen, turns up on the payroll of a fat cat Mexican drug lord. The partner who survives Mr. Not-So-Wonderful, slick Coleman Draper, is catnip to the ladies, a part-time peace officer whos also a full-time stone killer. Draper doesnt enjoy killing, but his approach to problem-solving is thoroughly lethal. All at once, Charlie realizes, hes about to become Drapers No. 1 problem."
