 | Right As Rain by George Pelacanos, Richard Allen
Derek Strange is an ex-cop who`s making a good living with his own business, a detective agency called Strange Investigations. A new case hits him close to home: A police officer has been slain by another policeman in a confusing late-night clash, and the dead officer`s mother asks Strange to help her make sense of his killing. That mother`s request sends Strange into the darkest chasms of the D.C. underworld, where police officers and criminals operate by their own secret laws, and where human life is sometimes of less consequence than cash, drugs, and other forms of currency.
