Book #4 in The Thin Blue Line Series

After being summarily thrown out of the DEA Task Force, Office Patrick MacKenna finds himself once again pushing a marked police car around on street patrol in the City of Syracuse, New York. The middle-aged cop is revaluating his law enforcement career while solely taking care of his three children - when he receives a call from the captain of a new investigative unit asking him to come on board.

The Abused Persons Unit will be handling sex crimes that occur in the urban metropolis. Transfer requests to the unit went out with little fanfare. Most veteran cops didn’t want to touch the assignment. They knew the bulk of the investigatory work would be dealing with unsavory content that most would rather avoid.

Mac deliberately passed up on putting a transfer request into APU - but now he has a feeling that if he doesn’t take the captain up on her offer, he may never get back to wearing a gold shield again. In principle, he agrees to a one-year transfer to the unit, but in essence it might just be too much for the veteran police officer to endure…

Favorite Quotes

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt

"When eating an elephant take one bite at a time."
