Title: The sticking place
Description: It’s 1978 in “America’s Finest City”--San Diego, California--and one rookie cop is learning the hardest lessons the streets have to teach. 
	
	Luke Jones--a recently graduated, Shakespeare quoting literature major--is about to discover that dealing with crooks is the easiest part of his new job. For here, in a world populated by people ruled by their obsessions, Luke’s strong will and quick tongue alienate many of his senior officers and he must fight to be accepted. Although eventually labeled a hero, his success comes at great cost. 

	“The Sticking Place” is the first in the Luke Jones series, which follows one cop's career from rookie to retirement.
