City of Ice
“He retreated to his cubicle. His dismissal from the company of cops was connected to a column published in The Gazette the previous morning alluding to police graft. Cops didn’t read the English paper as a rule, but nobody missed this one. They didn’t cry over seeing Captain Gilles Beaubien slapped down a peg, but André LaPierre was one of their own.
