Jake Oliver started out as an idealistic 22 year old police officer wanting to do the right thing and got caught up in the political melee that so often surrounds the force. During a call in where he and another rookie cop provide crowd control, Jake inadvertently discovers something that others have missed. Jake is observant enough to find the pattern in the details that leads him on the road to unraveling an operation that should have remained unseen.I could put myself in Jake's place very easily. He's smart, has character and integrity and wants to succeed, all the markings of an excellent police officer and yet, those are the very character traits that work against him. There is a pecking order in the force, and you follow it and survive, or like Jake, strike out on your own and you find another path.Brett Battles has done it again. Very well written, gritty tale.
