GoodBookStall Review:
Roland March is a Houston detective who is no longer performing at a level acceptable to him, or his Department. Once he was a top performer in the Houston Homicide Department but he is now disillusioned and is being given a number of low rank tasks taking him outside Homicide that are prodding him towards retirement.
Then a sordid drug related shooting gives him the incentive to think again about his work, life, relationships, his career and leads him towards a more fulfilled life. A missing girl, and a series of seemingly unrelated crimes culminating in more savage murders and the exposure of police corruption at a high level carry the story forward and lead to March’s reconciliation into the Homicide Department. A readable novel, with an unexpected twist in every chapter, which carries the reader along with it to its final outcome and the examination of levels of morality and humanity which confront us all.
