Phoenix Precinct by Keith R.A. DeCandidoMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The native population of Cliff's End continue to adjust to the new social dynamic after the significant influx of people from Barlin, the new Phoenix Precinct is open and attempting to counter both small and large crimes within the communities but an underlying unease continues to grow fuelled by criminal and racially motivated interests. Tuchera who once owned and operated a landscape business in Barling with 15 employees is now desperate enough to take any job offered to help feed his family, this leads him to a dark corner of the city one night and his death at the hands of 4 masked individuals sprouting racial slurs. Lieutenant Torin ban Wyvald and Lieutenant Danthres Tresyllione are on the case and find a disturbing amount of casual hatred of the refugees and a corresponding distrust of authority from the Barlins which makes the investigation even more complex. However Torin and Danthres are not the two best detectives in the city state for nothing and together they will solve the crime and uncover levels of conspiracy that will shock everyone.
Phoenix Precinct was once again a Kickstarter born novel (now sold retail) and continues the excellent narrative of Cliff's End and its police force. The main protagonists continue to entertain and the procedural elements of the story provide a compelling story and backdrop to the character building and interaction. A recommended novel within a must read series.
