Ex-KOP by Warren Hammond

4.0

3 1/2 stars, shading up because I did like this second entry into the KOP series, despite its overall grim and gritty tone. Juno, now an ex-KOP, is still involved with former colleagues to varying degrees. This book deals with a twisty, perverse, and very ugly series of killings that leads Juno to digging up the dirt on some of the KOP officers in his former outfit. Many characters from KOP appear in this volume as well. Pieces of Juno's life are exposed and some are dealt with. It's a good take on a PI book with some procedural thrown in, but the sci-fi elements are relatively minor, other than some beefed up weaponry and the (continuing) impressive setting descriptions of the planet and its climate and wildlife.
