that's the exact omnibus i just picked up to reread "rogue
cop!"! looks like "seven file" just moved near the top of my
TBR pile...thanks for identifying the city, i did wonder
whether it was based on an actual place or not. really
enjoyed "rogue cop", particularly the kind of relentless
grinding pace - i think mike carmody got maybe 4 hours sleep
the whole time. maybe a bit more "romantic" (at the end
anyway) than "fast one", another book with a lot of backroom
corruption which IIRC has a similar pace. made me think way
back to "the glass key" as well somehow.
