Book Overview
This hard-hitting police procedural--told from a female perspective--recalls the early days of Joseph Wambaugh in its crackling authenticity. With a rush of adrenaline, the novel plunges you into the life of police officer Abigail Fitzpatrick and the seamy world of North Florida as she matures from untested rookie into street-smart veteran. Along the way, Abby comes up against a panoply of crack-heads, domestic batterers, burned-out paramedics, low-lifes, and the everyday stress, danger, and harassment that come with being a cop--especially a female cop.

a decent police procedural
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
this was really quite a good book. our local library classified it as a mystery, which was why i picked it up initially, but it's not a mystery - it's a story about a woman's growth, both professional and personal, from rookie-in-training to cop-on-the-street. the characters are nicely developed and the action feels real. good reading, although to me not as compelling as a whodunit.
