Brock Wins

Cat loving homicide detective Brock Scanlin takes a rest from the NOPD in Louisiana and takes a drive to Colorado to stay at a cabin he had inherited from his aunt. His boss and his daughter are annoyed by his abrupt departure and his refusal to discuss the issues that are making him to leave the PD. After arriving in the small town he quickly assists the local sheriff to hunt down a gang of violent bank robbers.
As with all of K.D.'s novels, I have read, I really enjoy the imagery she uses to brighten the development of the plot. This novel is no exception. Whether it's "Rumors circulated throughout the precinct like the creaky old ceiling fan overhead" or "It stood out among the jeeps and SUVs dominating the road like a rhino on a surfboard" or " She threw her head back, her golden hair spilling over her shoulders like a shimmering waterfall beneath the overhead light, and laughed" - they all add to the pleasure of reading her novels.
She has a real knack in describing the three criminal protagonists - the blood loving Kim, her dumb boyfriend Curt and her real heartthrob Wolfe as they all speed thru the locale killing innocent civilians and police officers. These three individuals have no redemptive characteristics, they are just plain evil.
