A Good Bunch of Men

Homicide Detective Richard “Dickie” Jones is all business. A dedicated professional and a tightly wound workaholic, he’s haunted by the ghosts of unsolved cases. He can’t see that his marriage is falling apart before his eyes until the day he comes home to find a strange woman in his house. Detective Matt “Pretty Boy Floyd” Tyler has the world by the balls. Smart, cocky and handsome, Floyd has an answer for everything and worries about nothing, other than maybe running out of beer. A prostitute has been murdered, and the pair of veteran Los Angeles homicide detectives must find the killer. But all is not as it seems. In a story that crackles with repartee reminiscent of that in classic crime noir, the dicks find themselves entangled with gang members, a sexy drug dealer, and a sniper who wants them dead. The chase takes them from California to Texas and back, into alleys and seedy motels, and onto the mean streets of South Los Angeles. Can they survive fights, shootouts, car crashes and a captain who has had it with them both? Will the department shrink allow them to keep their jobs, knowing the dark thoughts each has? Will their wives continue to tolerate the long hours and excessive drinking? A must-read, “A Good Bunch of Men” will not only entertain you, it will provide unique insight into the jobs and minds of real-life homicide detectives.
