“What kind of cop are you?” Ismay asks. “The old kind,” he says.
With Lambiase, I wanted to write someone who A.J. would never have made friends with if not for Maya and the bookstore. On the surface, Lambiase is the opposite of A.J. The better a reader Lambiase becomes, the worse he is at being a cop. Cop Lambiase sees the world in binaries (good/evil, right/wrong, etc.); Reader Lambiase begins to see the world and the people in it as complicated and nuanced.
