Old Dogs

Sergeant Ethan “Hunt” Hunter is coasting to retirement in a cushy administrative job. His wife is gone, his daughter is about to go to college, and he can almost taste freedom. Then he gets pulled into a drug takedown at the last minute and is involved in a shooting. A shooting that causes him to ask questions – uncomfortable questions, and the answers get worse the more he digs. He consults with an attorney he trusts in the prosecutor's office and his off-the-books investigation catches the attention of corrupt supervisors in his chain of command. They decide that he and prosecuting attorney
Jamilla Halabi must die and send a tactical team after them. But Hunter had an entire career in Special Forces prior to becoming a cop, and he knows things these young cops haven’t had time to learn.

School is in session, and the final exam is murder.

If you liked Steve Holley’s first novel, Decoherent, and you should, you’re gonna like his second, Old Dogs. It’s great cop-shop stuff, from a career-LEO who knows mayhem — on the street, and as a martial artist, and that rings real because he knows it, forward and backward. Leavened with cop-humor, and something deadly and mysterious underlying the day-to-day police procedures, Sergeant Hunter is getting long in the tooth and ready to pull the pin, but he still has a few moves left when it comes down to living or dying. Get this one, and go for the ride-along.
