A novella as a prequel sets the stage for a riveting series with Michael McKenzie "Mac" McRyan. Michael is from a long line of police officers with the St. Paul Police Department in Minnesota. He planned a different professional life as an attorney until his loss of two (2) cousins changed his outlook. "First Case: Murder Alley" is quite an appropriate title as we learn that after Mac's four (4) years as a cop, he now views the crime scene in an alley behind a local bar as his 1st case as a homicide detective. As we've learned Mac's background, it becomes even more interesting that the murder victim is a trial lawyer at a high-profile law firm that Mac once interviewed at after law school. The twists and turns in the murder investigation make this an engaging, page-turning read that I would have stayed up to finish reading regardless of the chapter and/or page count. As the author is an attorney by day and an author by night, there is an authenticity that can't be ignored. A policeman or policewoman's life of service has never been easy. Still, it seems even more difficult with each passing year for the officer and their families. Too often, the news media only shares the stories of corruption or police brutality; sadly, there is more public derision than benevolence. This novella reminds us of their humanity, commitment, and diligence in seeking justice, particularly for those that no longer have a voice and their families and friends who will never forget. I look forward to continuing to read this series. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Life is what happens while you're making other plans. Mac had his life planned out and so did his wife. He'd opt out of the family tradition of law school and go into practice like his wife. Then several family members of the Thin Blue Line were murdered On The Job and he felt the need to make a turn. He loved it, she didn't. Then a lawyer is murdered and it becomes his first case as a Detective. And it all goes sideways. Good read that makes me want to go on with the series.
