The most vocal activist, reformed drug dealer Reverend Josiah Cross, places the blame, and with it a target, squarely on the back of twenty-seven-year-old homicide sergeant Matt Payne. B. With each violent crime, tension builds between the police department, the mayor’s office, and the Citizens Oversight Committee. The dramatic New York Times&ndas
Badge of Honor is first and foremost the story of the people who solve the crimes. What’s amazing is that all these factoids don’t slow down the story’s considerable momentum for a minute. They deserve it!” —Houston Chronicle. With enviable skill he doles out humanizing detail for a large and colorful cast, and you care what happens to virtually all of them.
