They weren't supposed to cross the border. But they did it anyway. Twice.
L.A. Sheriff's Homicide Detective Josefina Sanchez cannot turn her back on a former colleague and friend, even when he is suspected of murder and has fled the country.
Jerry Townsend's wife was gunned down a decade earlier when the couple arrived home from a night on the town and surprised an intruder. When the investigation failed to identify a suspect or even a motive, some of Townsend's colleagues speculated that he had been part of a scheme to kill her. As rumors of his guilt abounded, Townsend quietly retired from law enforcement and disappeared.
Ten years later, Townsend reaches out to Josie and asks for her help.
Josie ventures into Mexico on an unauthorized mission to find answers to the unsolved mystery. Her partner, Dickie Jones, warned her against going, convinced that the trip south could leave her career in peril and her life in imminent danger. Of course, he was right.
As the truth begins to unravel, Josie is drawn into a tangled web of crooked cops and their cartel connections, and she scrambles to make it out alive.
The First Felony is the eighth novel in the highly acclaimed, best-selling, and award-winning Dickie Floyd Detective series. If you enjoy authentic police procedurals written by someone who lived the life, you'll love this riveting crime series by Danny R. Smith.
