Mystery Writers of America Presents The Blue Religion: New Stories about Cops, Criminals, and the Chase - Softcover
Nineteen original stories--including a new contribution by New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly--about riveting showdowns between cops and criminals.
From Hawaii at the turn of the twentieth century to the post-Civil War frontier, from smoggy Los Angeles to the woods of Idaho, these gripping stories trace the perils and occasional triumphs of lawmen and -women who put themselves in harm's way to face down the bad guys. Some of them even walk the edge of becoming bad guys themselves.
In T. Jefferson Parker's "Skinhead Central," an ex-cop and his wife find unexpected menace in the idyllic setting they have chosen for their retirement. In Alafair Burke's "Winning," a female officer who is attacked in the line of duty must protect her own husband from his worst impulses. In Edward D. Hoch's "Friday Night Luck," a wanna-be cop blows his chance at a spot on the force--and breaks his case. In Michael Connelly's "Father's Day," Harry Bosch faces one of his most emotionally trying cases, investigating a young boy's death.
The magnificent and never-before-published Connelly story is alone worth the price of admission, and-combined with 18 unexpected tales from crime's modern masters-makes this an unmissable collection.

From AudioFile:
Michael Connelly, a #1 New York Times bestselling novelist and a former journalist, has won numerous crime fiction prizes. He lives in Florida.
Bestselling novelist Michael Connelly collects 20 stories about police work for the latest anthology presented by the Mystery Writers of America. Each of these stories explores not so much "how a cop works a case" as "how a case works on the cop." Alan Sklar puts his smooth edginess to work on the bulk of these works. Karen White reads six of the stories, including Laurie R. King's "The Fool" and Alafair Burke's "Winning." John Lee provides narration for the two stories set in Britain. Particularly memorable are John Buontello's "A Certain Recollection," about a retired cop suffering Alzheimer's, which Sklar reads with profound sensitivity, and the equally touching "What a Wonderful World" by Paul Guyot, about a detective obsessed with the murder of a pretty street vendor. One frustrating element is the absence of a table of contents or a track listing. S.E.S. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
