Synopsis

Don Cody is a Harlem street cop with a cowboy reputation. So, it comes as no surprise to his new partner, Dawn O'Connell, or others on the force when he reports to the scene of a homicide and refuses to accept the lead detective's theory of a drug hit that has little chance of being solved.

In an effort to solve the murder, Cody follows a few tenuous leads and stumbles upon a centuries-old, secret criminal enterprise with satanic roots. But despite all his efforts, he can find no proof linking the group to the killing. The only person who has any faith in Cody is his partner, Dawn.

Cody reluctantly admits that it's time to end the investigation, but his nosing around has gotten more attention than he thought. After three attempts on his life, he realizes he's been marked for death. He becomes even more convinced that he's close to tracking down a killer.

Now, Cody's life depends on convincing his superiors of a theory that only one other person believes. Follow his moves as he fights for justice in Cody's Obsession.

From the Back Cover

He stole a glance at Dawn. She was studying the houses passing by her side of the RMP. She too, preferred to patrol, searching for the unusual, the out-of-place, something that might need her attention, before she heard about it over the radio.

Ironically, as happy as he was to be riding with her, she was among those no one else wanted as a partner. She had mentioned yesterday how everyone thought she was gay. This afternoon, one of the guys in the locker room had joked about her being a lesbian. She probably encourages the
rumor to keep the bloodhounds from sniffing where they're not wanted. She certainly made it clear she wasn't interested in another cop. Whether Dawn was gay made no difference to him. The only woman he wanted was dead, and he had killed her.

"One-Eleven, George-King, K" the radio squawked.

Dawn answered the call for an alarm ringing at an address on West Drive in Douglaston Manor.
