The Bottom Line: Voted the year’s best Action Thriller in the 2024 BestThrillers.com Book Awards
How do you make a contemporary police procedural truly fresh?
One way is to render your police detectives harbor police, so the jurisdiction, and all the ensuing action, spans both surf and turf.
And for good measure, start your book with a gripping chapter told from the POV of a dog.
The third book in Patrick Weill’s Park and Walker series proves to be an excellent entry point to the series.
Harbor Police detective Park driving up to Los Angeles, where he joins forces with the FBI and works undercover on a cruise ship in pursuit of an unidentified serial killer.
As he and his team peel back the layers of a far-reaching conspiracy, the term “rough seas” takes on a much deeper meaning.
Back in San Diego, Walker becomes a member of MARTAC, the Harbor Police’s SWAT team.
Once there, he tackles a case of his own involving political assassination, white supremacy, and narcotics trafficking, with powerful enemies both old and new.
Alternating chapters spotlight these two heroes until their stories converge in a shocking turn of events.
