"It was just a short story but I think it sets up the transition between the first and second books well, so I'm glad I read it"

"Another prequel to the Tracy Crosswhite series following the first prequel, The Academy. This time, Tracy is a 6 year veteran of patrol, taking a young reporter out on a ride along in an attempt to reverse some negative publicity the department received about how it treats its female officers. She is called to a dangerous situation where she has to act on her gut instincts along with her training to keep all parties safe. <br/><br/>Tracy is still a very likable character and this story reads very quickly. The plot and character of Tracy are fully fleshed out and nothing for me lacks in this story that can be read in under 45 minutes. Definitely worth a read!"
