Officer Involved (Paperback)

If local newspaper reporter Tom Kingman hadn't dropped by a domestic disturbance police call in the middle of a June swelter, people might still think of Sioux City only as a quiet town at the junction of Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota.

Tom's witnessing of an officer-involved shooting leads to an epiphany: not everyone in Iowa is friendly and polite, especially Tom's fellow Iowans who are involved in a multistate methamphetamine ring. He even discovers that Assistant Woodbury County Attorney Hillary Reed has a secret.

The wise-cracking, skeptical Kingman soon finds himself thrown into an unlikely alliance with the deliberative, calm, religious Reed for a seventy-hour frenzied pursuit of the truth about meth, murder . . . and each other.
