Proof Positive: a Joe Gunther Novel (Joe Gunther Series)
“Joe looked up from the computer screen, where he’d been watching Rachel Reiling’s unedited documentary footage on Ben Kendall. “Yeah. Found a flash drive in your drawer. Hope that’s okay.”
Willy Kunkle, one of the three other special agents on the squad, laughed outright as he hung his jacket on the coat tree near the door. “Right. You wouldn’t stand a chance, getting into my desk. I’ve got it rigged to explode if anyone tries.”
Joe believed him. Willy was a fellow combat vet—an ex-sniper, in f...act—who embodied paranoia. Also, he was a recovering alcoholic, a transplanted New York City cop—although decades ago—and, most noticeably, the acerbic and blunt-spoken owner of a crippled left arm, which he kept anchored in place by shoving his hand into his pants pocket. It was an unlikely detail for a cop, but through the Americans with Disabilities Act, his own persistence, and—albeit never acknowledged—Joe’s help, he’d fought his way back from being disabled during a case years earlier.MoreLess
