The police departmeDown and almost OUT Police officer Leighton Jones is a true public servant even though he is a troubled father and recent widower. The police department described is one of meanness and nose up in the air antics instead of being competent employees. I was moved by the character personality of Leighton and little Tina. Tina, who is seven, has been abducted.. but her smarts and determination turn the tide on this event. Read the book to appreciate the great title given and the author's story telling talent.
