Mario teaches naive young mayor the facts of "justice system" Someone has killed a nameless woman. Brutally shot her right in the face. It's up to Chief of Police Mario Balzic to solve her murder only he has two problems: not much to go on in the way of clues, witnesses or suspects and a new mayor who is a little too eager, a little too young and more than a little too green to understand how crimes are solved. He wants this case put to bed yesterday. The title of the book comes from the idea that in the ways of crime there is one rule: always have a body to trade; meaning there is an accomplice on who to rat if you get caught. My only "issue" with Always a Body... was that I found it hard to believe the some of the things Balzic would say and do as being professional. I can't see the chief of police readily admitting to a deputy warden that he had been drinking the night before and probably too much so. Another huge red flag was the fact that Balzic never followed up on leads. He always took them at face value...which made the ending completely predictable. Lively and impressively cynical police procedural, centered on Police Chief Balzic of Rockport, a blue-collar town in the depressed heart of the Rustbelt. This is the sixth in a series which is new to me. In this one, Blasic is trying to figure out who killed an unidentified young woman in what looks like an execution murder. He has few clues and must depend on a vividly-drawn series of informants to solve the case, while trying to deal with a new and very naive mayor. It's all a long way from "Law and Order", and it's nice to know the series is seventeen books long: I look forward to reading them from the beginning. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
There's a double robbery in two identical apartments, rented but hardly ever used by a Pittsburg drug dealer who's clean with the law. A young woman is found shot dead on the street. She can't be identified, but her murder has all the appearances of a professional hit. The mayor is near hysteria, and he smears the case all over Balzic, who not only has to solve the murder but teach his nosy new boss the not-so-plain facts of police work.
