tense fast-paced

4.0

This book gets off to an upsetting and menacing start (racist/sexist animosity from coworkers, threat of community physical/sexual violence to a female officer, abuse in her personal history) and carries on in this vein throughout.  This book reads like a prosecution of the entire police force and she clearly proves the case of institutionalized racism and sexism top to bottom throughout the organization.  This same book could be written about England, America and any number of other places.  This is an important read.
