Fatal Command
FROM THE QUIET LIFE TO THE KILLING GROUND That morning Fraleigh, the high-tech boomtown’s unorthodox new chief of detectives, had supervised a quiet stakeout. Now the mayor’s aide had been gunned down, and an innocent young woman was near death. There were indeed peculiar things going on in Silicon City. But the temptation of hard drugs, hot gold, or something even more priceless could explain everything. Power and greed were making suspiciously strange bedfellows out of certain local cops, politicos, and mob members. And that threatened to put a lot of people to sleep–– permanently.

Author knows his stuff
Fictional Silicon City based on San Jose California. Author has written excellent fiction and non fiction based on his successful career as the best police chief of my city for decades. Anachronistic yet brings to life an era pre 2000 ad.

I found this book to be quite captivating. It draws you in immediately and you feel the passion and confusion of the main character in his changing relationships with those around him
