Lieutenant Leroy Powder and his wheelchair-bound assistant, Sergeant Carollee Fleetwood, have a full case load which includes the missing father of a twelve-year-old boy and a mass murderer of handicapped people
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Lt. Leroy Powder, head of Indianapolis P.D.'s Missing Person Bureau, is asked by a frightened 12-year-old boy to find his father. Powder ("the cop who sent his son to jail") is also looking for his ex-con son, Ricky, who has violated his parole. Among the other characters in this excellent procedural are a manic, crippled computer whiz who's unearthed "data" that hundreds of disabled Indianans are being murdered each year; an old flame of Powder's with a shady past; a ganglord wearing so much jewelry that the "knack was walking without clanking;" various quirky members of the Indianapolis P.D. (including Powder's wheelchair-bound lover Carollee), the FBI and the public. With a complexity worthy of Ross Macdonaldand the same concern for family and secret relationshipsLewin (The Way We Die Now has crafted a first-rate book combining grit, humor and tough-minded caring. One hopes for more mysteries featuring sarcastic, abrasive, all too human and ultimately endearing Leroy Powder.
