One Gun is the introductory book in a series of crime novels written by former policeman and retired State Investigator Joseph P. Hogan. His writings are a peep behind the blue shield- a look at what his gritty world is like.
You are introduced to Moody and Walsh as they battle trouble in their department and battle in the streets- their only sanctuary is the local cop bar where a select few comrades are welcome.
This book has a ferocious page turning quality that dares you to put it down! Under the drama that unfolds between the cops, the public, and the criminals- there is a beautiful levity brought forth through the authors eyes as he views this world with intelligence and humor- which is much needed in this up close view of the smog filled streets.
