Part of Series
A collection featuring L.A.P.D. homicide detective Fey Croaker in the novelette, Pattern Of Behavior, and the short story, The Thief Of Christmas. Top cop and author Paul Bishop puts his best-selling character, L.A.P.D. homicide detective Fey Croaker, through her paces in two gripping stories. The novelette, Pattern Of Behavior, is set in the aftermath of the fourth Fey Croaker novel, Chalk Whispers. There have been changes to Fey’s crew of detectives, and new blood on the team creates havoc during the search for a rapist who may have turned murderer. In the more light-hearted The Thief of Christmas, which is set between the second and third Fey Croaker novels (Grave Sins and Tequila Mockingbird), the flu is running rampant through the department. With nobody else to follow up, Fey and her crew find themselves assigned to a series of disappearing Christmas trees.
