Darrell,
Re your question below:
"As both a former Probation Officer and Parole Officer, I was
wondering: Are there any good mystery/crime novels featuring
a PO as main character?"
The two main characters in George Pelecanos's DRAMA CITY are
a female DC parole officer and her client.
Dennis E. Bolan is a federal parole officer in Canada.
His novel STUPID CRIMES fictionalizes his
experiences.
Nancy Taylor Rosenberg has written at least three novels
featuring Southern California probation officers, FIRST
OFFENSE, SULLIVAN'S LAW, and SULLIVAN'S JUSTICE.
ANGELS OF ANGUISH by Sherri L. Board is about a female
juvenile probation officer looking into the murder of her own
son.
I could be wrong about this, but it seems to me that one of
William Campbell Gault's stand-alone novels
(DON'T CRY FOR ME perhaps) also features a juvenile probation
officer as its protagonist.
Hope that helps.
JIM DOHERTY
