This contemporary crime fiction reveals the heart and soul of a metropolitan police department. With Charlotte as her simmering background, you're propelled into the core of the force through the lives of a dynamic trio of heroes: Andy Brazil, an ambitious young 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.
