The best police procedural book I've ever read.  I read this in one sitting so engrossed in the story.  To me Mr. Schaffer brings Joesph Wambaugh and those of his ilk current.The story parallels most police departments where those that serve do so under always the promise of more that is never delivered.  Departmental politics are alive and well and more often than not, those in charge are incompetent and ill advised. The book shows the toll taken on a Detectives private home life, his children and eventually his very soul.  Mr. Schaffer had the right of it when he wrote that the good things police officers do is never published, only those that are corrupt and have missed the mark are presented to the public.  That's a shame for there is much to be learned from sacrifice.  Looking forward to reading Superbia Two and Three.
