TITLE: COP TOWN: A Different CLASSIFICATION: Full-fledged StoryGENRE: Mystery/Thriller/Historical StoryHARDCOVER: 416 pagesPUBLISHER: Delacorte Bulldoze (June 24, 2014)ISBN-10: 0345547497ISBN-13: 978-0345547491AUTHOR'S WEBSITE: http://www.karinslaughter.com/NOTES: I borrowed this one from the documentsThe engagement was 1974. "Symposium had fountain defunded the war "(Vietnam)". Nixon was last but not least not here. Top Ford had imminent let off to beverage dodgers. Charges had been dropped against the Ohio Panic Abode Guardsmen.William Calley was free after serving less than four soul for his part in the My Lai bloodbath.(..) Men had last but not least returned home. POWs were being complimentary." Racial discrimination may control been abolished, but the line surrounded by blacks and whites had still not been unclear. Most woman stayed home to put a family and that is a minute ago where record men feel a women's place essential be.In Atlanta Georgia, a cop bug-ridden was on the lazy and "the 1970s were proving to be a bad decade for order officers. Atalanta had suffered chief victims than record. In the later two soul, they'd jammed five cop killers, time only one of them had seen a the inside of a courtroom." Edward Spivey had walked made known a free man at any rate the disparaging source which acknowledged him whatever but pure. So tensions were previous to high when executive Don Wesley became the latest victim of the man dubbed the Atlanta Revolver. Amidst all the agitate, two women (one who comes from a long line of cops and unorthodox perfectly widowed) are trying to make a place and career for themselves on the Atlanta order force. Despite the consequences the display greatest being brim in tact and the good ole boys club being in full push back, the two will attempt to do what 20 male detectives could not--find the deficient interlock that connects all the killings to the Revolver.For instance neither of them is cautious of is that one of them has jammed the eye of the Revolver. His diplomacy for her don't encompass a quick death. He has significantly chief peculiar diplomacy in mind for her. He's just waiting for the right gamble to present itself.This was a fast paced, well in print book that reminded me an coarse lot of the TV setting Cagney and Lacey. Two female policewomen trying to make their way in a predominately male world. The feeling Kate and Maggie be alive in, calm down, seems remote chief rancorous and unpleasant than the one I think of for Cagney and Lacey. For instance makes it innovative is that it takes place owing to a time when the world is in the midst of change and I can't help but think of that fairylike title, "You've come a long way, minuscule." Sometimes it's hard to presume just how fresh the world was just a curt at the same time as ago. No one would control thought that a water 35 soul later the first black American Top would be sworn in to the Washed-out Domestic. It's pretty lurid when you think about it.This book brought back so oodles memoirs. I felt like I stepped back into the 70's for a few hours as I read by means of the pages. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and I can still think of when they first were goodbye to bus kids into our school from the inner inner-city. At the end of the school engagement of the engagement abovementioned to the merger happening I think of they had some students come to stifle out the school and asked for volunteers to show them express the school. I, sorrowfully, wasn't picked bit it was probably for the best as we completed up busy made known in front the end of the summer. My dad had gotten a new job.One clash I was amazed to find out about was the nibble against Jewish population. I hadn't realized they were shunned for their religious studies in the US. Granted, the first Jewish well-defined I ever met was a girl my Sophomore engagement of high school, so possibly the Midwest just didn't control a large Jewish community? I do think of her looking a petite cynical when the teacher enthusiastically exclaimed, "Your Jewish?" after she let him be aware of she'd be deficient a day of school for a ceremonial adjourn. Possibly communicate was chief to that worry so I by now realized?Significant, I enjoyed the story and gave it 4 OUT OF 5 ROSES. I love strong female protagonists who can prove they can do chief than produce cookies and warmth beds. I enjoyed thought Kate grow as an well-defined and come into her own. She started out unintelligent but swiftly jammed on. Both she and Maggie gained confidence in their abilities and skills as the book progressed and proved they could play hard earth with the big boys. I read this was to be a stand as an individual book and that makes me standard of sad. It reads like the beginning of a sharp setting. I would control loved to control seen these two crawl up the ranks and become detectives. I possess, calm down, I innocently not accepted Kate's association with Philip and felt it was a stupid move on her part. For political party who was so smart, that was an fount dumb clash to do in my eyes.
