"Collateral Damage" by J. A. Jance

Collateral Damage by J. A. Jance is about a crooked ex-cop who is out on parole.  He wants revenge on the people who sent him to prison.  He also has information on well-known people who do not want what he knows to get out.  This has a good storyline that is easy to follow with action throughout the book.  (Gerard's review, 5 stars)

"4th of July" by James Patterson

4^th of July by James Patterson is about Lindsay, a good San Francisco cop who is charged with wrongful death, using excessive force, police misconduct when she shot two teens in self-defense.  Sara died immediately and her younger brother was paralyzed from his neck down.  The trial was very good!  While suspended, she goes away and solves more murders in another town where her sister lives, including the unsolved murder that haunted her for many years.

 

I liked the trial part of this book a lot with the story line of the good cop being accused of wrong doing but after the trial, the book focused on a string of murders that Lindsay, the "super cop" manages to solve by herself.   It's an interesting read if you like super detectives and murder mysteries.  I was surprised at the ending and it moved along quickly.

"Suspect" by Robert Crais - NYT BESTSELLER (updated)

The dog has a big role in this book!  Woof!  Woof!

UPDATED 2/14/13:
Suspect by Robert Crais got my attention right from page 1 and kept me turning pages all the way through.  This is so much more than just a mystery.  Maggie is a German Shepherd that got shot in Afghanistan and became a partner to Scott James who is a cop recently transferred to the K-9 unit after his partner was killed.  Both Maggie and Scott suffer from PTSD and are trying to recover to return to active duty.  I liked how Maggie developed a strong bond with Scott and how Scott really became attached to Maggie and trusted her.  Scott and Maggie work together to find out who the men were that killed his partner and shot him.   The story moved quickly and suspense built up as it went along.  I enjoyed this and would recommend it to anyone who likes dogs.
(Karen's review)

Suspect by Robert Crais is a novel about a cop and a dog. The cop lost his partner in a shootout and nine months later is still having nightmares. The killer is still out there too! The dog lost his master during the war in Afghanistan and was shot at.

The cop joins the K-9 unit at the meet up and becomes a pack of two with the dog to go after the bad guys. This book has lots of action so it goes fast. I especially liked the parts where the dog tells the story. It is currently No. 5 on the New York Times best sellers list! I recommend it--read and enjoy!
