A hot week in Robbery/Homicide.
I read this series a long time ago and decided that I'd pick up a few episodes at 99cents each. They were written about 40 years ago and read like a beloved TV serial about the LAPD division, the cops and the due diligence to identify victims, their perpetrators, what justice can be done. Like TV series as well as modern procedural novels, there is a lot involving the people who are driven to do such work including interpersonal interactions and family life. It's very busy with multiple cases worked on. I was not at all disappointed! ( )
