The Program: A Dickie Floyd Detective Novel
When Rudy Prada is pulled over for a traffic violation and a gun is found beneath the seat of his car, he risks his freedom—and even his life—by breaking the code of the streets and talking to the cops. And not just any “cops,” but the one who sent him to prison twice and shot him once in the L.A. Sheriff’s Homicide Detective Josefina Sanchez. Josie and her partner Dickie Jones are already up to their holsters in unsolved murders when Prada is found with a gun. Josie is more than happy to send him back to the joint, but he convinces her that he’s innocent and that he has changed his life, leaving crime and gangs and his addiction to drugs and alcohol behind him. But when the gun is found to have been used to murder an L.A. city councilman, all bets are off for the convict. Prada has no choice other than to run, but it isn’t only the cops who are searching for him—someone else wants him dead. The Program is book 7 in the highly acclaimed, best-selling, and award-winning Dickie Floyd Detective series. If you enjoy realistic police procedurals and unpredictable plot twists, you’ll love Danny R. Smith’s riveting crime novels. Buy The Program and take a wild ride today!

Hard To Escape Gang Life
This is the seventh book of a series that is best read in order. Over the course of the series, there is a story arc that builds as well as the ever-changing personal relationships. The series revolves around Homicide Detectives for The LA Sheriff's Department. This episode revolves around gangbangers and what keeps them in that life, as well as what prevents them from leaving it. It is a sad story with a little bit of light coming through the windows. There is witty banter between the hard situations. I highly recommend this series.
