FINAL RESPECTS -- The author comments:

First in the Rocky Bluff P.D. series, Final Respects is also set in a small town, but Rocky Bluff is a fictional beach community in southern California located near where Carpenteria is, but the geography is different. Though the characters in Rocky Bluff will also be in other books in the series, different folks will take center stage. My goal is to show how "the job" affects the police officer's personal life. The particular story ideas were sparked by incidents that happened when I lived in a similar beach town. My interest in police departments came from my son-in-law, Mike Cole, who took me on a ride-along and loved to tell me "what happened" on his night of duty.

Mike was killed while working. I hope I'm honoring his memory.

Mortician Stuart Honich dreams about sinking his teeth into the flesh of his tormentors-his boss's daughters.

Being a cop was something Doug Milligan wanted since childhood, but his wife hates his profession and Doug will soon have to make a difficult choice.

Doug's best friend, Al Bertalone, is the most popular man on the force with a wife who supports him all the way. Publicity hound, Rick Strickland, will do anything to further his career, and is having a secret affair with Liz Phelan, a divorcee with a drinking problem.

The horrible murder of the Milligans' babysitter begins a series of events that could lead to the destruction of the entire Rocky Bluff Police department as well as many innocent citizens.
