They get off to a rocky start because of what Jason has heard about Gio’s reason for relocating (that he was an informant who got another officer dismissed from his job), but as they work together and get to know each other, Jason starts to wonder if that’s the whole story. Lisa Henry evokes the small town/back of beyond atmosphere really well – although this town isn’t at all small really Jason and Gio’s “beat” covers a massive area, but it doesn’t boast all that many inhabitants.Īmid the series of vignettes as to the various disputes the pair are called upon to work through is the relationship that gradually grows between them. With two cops as leads, I’d thought this might be more of a mystery/suspense story, but it isn’t rather it’s a fish-out-of-water tale as a disgraced big city cop relocates to a small rural community and discovers that policing there is very different to the sort of thing he’s used to. And even in Richmond, being a copper can be dangerous enough without risking their hearts as well. Close quarters and a growing attraction mean that the lines between professional and personal are blurring. In a remote two-man station hours away from the next town, Gio and Jason have to learn to trust and rely on each another.
But, like it or not, Jason has to work with Gio. The last thing he needs is a new senior constable with a history of destroying other people’s careers. Jason Quinn, officer in charge of Richmond Station, is a single dad struggling with balancing the demands of shift work with the challenges of raising his son. No more complications.Įxcept Gio isn’t counting on Jason Quinn. His transfer is a punishment, and Gio just wants to keep his head down and survive the next two years. Gio Valeri is a big-city police officer who’s been transferred to the small outback town of Richmond with his professional reputation in tatters.
If you’re looking for a read or listen to keep you company over the next few weeks, maybe you’ll find some inspiration here. Anyway, like many people right now, I’ve got a bit of extra time on my hands, so I’ve pulled together short reviews of a bunch of books and audiobooks I’ve read and listened to over the past few months but haven’t written full-length reviews for. I always mean to do these more regularly but… you know, life.
