Street Justice: A Detective Ed Slate Novel

Detective Lieutenant Ed Slate keyed into the Major Crimes office in Area 3 on Chicago's north side at 6:30 a.m. after another restless night. His years in law enforcement were taking a toll. It would take more than his usual Starbucks and Danish to fuel him this morning.

Given the current list of unsolved cases on his whiteboard, why were the words " . . . ensuring the right of all to liberty, equality and justice" from the Law Enforcement Code of Conduct playing inside his head? And what about the passion for careful, thorough detective work that had consistently fed his soul throughout his career? Slate sensed his need for a revived passion for justice...
