Dirty Little Town

A River City Crime Novel #7

A River City Crime Novel #7

Times are tough for the River City Police Department. The city budget is collapsing, forcing an already understaffed department to contemplate laying off cops. The community is upset over the handling of recent events, and their anger is impacting the agency from the ground up. Negotiations with the police union are somehow both heated and stagnant at the same time. To “fix” the problem, the mayor appoints a new chief, but the cure may be worse than the disease.

Worse yet, a killer is stalking the streets of River City, targeting vulnerable women. Rookie detective Katie MacLeod is assigned to assist in the effort to stop him but the case is stymied.

Somehow, the men and women of RCPD have to put aside all of the distractions and focus on their jobs – to serve and to protect.

REVIEWS:

“I am writing from the perspective of thirty years as a county prosecutor having worked with thousands of police patrol officers and investigators. The author of this book gets it right. His descriptions of police patrol and detective activities are spot on. For me, that has always been the first test of any police procedural or legal thriller. The author has to at least come close to getting it right. Zafiro got it right. His characters ring true. They are not the almost caricature characters who populated Wambaugh’s later fiction. They are also not like Reed and Malloy, who almost always got everything right. The plot is standard but well executed. Political bosses, unusual small time criminals, and of course a really nasty serial offender. Not a whodunit. Just an effort to convey the world the author experienced. It turned out pretty well.”
