The good cop,
By Brad Parks.
The book is on BARD, not on Bookshare.
This is the fourth book in the Carter Ross series.
Ross heads straight for the home of Detective Darius Kipps when he hears of
his death. He speaks to his widow, and learns a great deal about the kind of
man her husband was. He loved her, his daughter, and their new born son. He
loved his job. He was planning a family trip to Disneyworld. He was always
there for his family and respected as a police officer.
After filling his notebook, Ross thanks the widow and heads for the
newspaper's offices. There he is told the death was not a murder but
actually a suicide and to shelve the story. Instead, he begins an
investigation.
A new intern is assigned to Ross. To get him out of the way he's given a
time wasting assignment. But when another reporter does a hard trade for
information, The writing of his own column, the intern is given this new
assignment so Ross can continue investigating Kipps' death.
There is a terrifically funny scene concerning boots. Many of the characters
are wonderful. Also there are tough murderous thugs, cops involved with
guns, gang members and hired killers, and plenty of danger. Ross comes
through unscathed, just barely, and so I've have high hopes for more books
from this author.
Good reading,
Rosemarie
