1. Lines of Duty
For most military veterans, entering law enforcement is a smooth transition, but Corus was no ordinary soldier.
Mere weeks after returning from his final deployment, Corus is now a cadet at an elite police academy in Seattle. While doing grunt work at a local precinct, he comes across an unsolved pedestrian hit-and-run and the key to its resolution. Instincts forged in covert action plunge him headlong into criminal ranks, but taking the fastest route to answers runs roughshod over the delicate procedural approach he’s supposed to be learning. Corus knows he’s threatening his new life and career in the process, but putting the mission before self-preservation is the hardest habit of all to break.
Corus isn’t the vigilante type, and he certainly isn’t anti-authority, but the journey home has torn him between competing senses of duty, duty to embrace procedure and civilian life and the duty to bring evil men to justice at all costs. The one person who can help Corus sort through his issues is the least likely of all. Albert Chu is a cheery and childlike cadet who’s failing the academy but has a knack for getting into Corus’ head. In trying to rein Corus in, he ends up proving his mettle and together they fight to prevent multiple murders and foil a kidnapping plot, even while the eye of the law they hoped to serve is turned on their actions. Can Corus unite the lines of duty pulling him in different directions, or will he end up another casualty of the war he brought home?
2. Thin Gray Lines
If a bag full of money and drugs kills a man in his sleep, does it make a sound?
After graduating from SeaMAP, Corus is now a King County deputy under the tutelage of Sergeant Danny Jameson. His real mentor, though, is Chief Detective Jim Cummins who sees a bright future for Corus as an investigator. Following the events of the first book, Jim and Corus look into two criminal matters: a tri-state drug trafficking operation, and a still-unidentified threat to Corus’ safety.
The mysterious enemy lurks in the shadows unseen, but the "Princess" drug ring is vulnerable to police efforts for the first time. The only problem is it’s based on the other side of the state. When Jim can’t go do recon himself, he sends the department’s greenest, yet most-qualified, deputy under the watchful eye of Sergeant Jameson. But Jameson sees the trip as a chance to save his failing marriage, leaving Corus to infiltrate a Walla Walla onion farm on his own to discover if it could be ground zero in a narcotics network.
In Walla Walla, a mysterious object has killed a farmer in his sleep, but when police arrive, whatever crashed through his roof is missing. Agents from the sprawling Tanner Farm next door have collected their errant cargo, but as they attempt to deal with its fallout, cracks in their ranks widen. The Tanners’ innocent daughter, Olive, begins to question the sudden reversal of her parents’ fortunes. Migrant laborers identify a heist that could change the lives of their families for generations. And the farming supervisor, drawn ever deeper into the illicit workings of the Tanner operation, is torn by strands of obligation pulling in separate directions.
Corus enters this simmering milieu in sly fashion, but the Tanner Farm is more volatile than he could have anticipated, and he quickly runs into trouble. Meanwhile, the chaos on the farm has provided Corus’ ever-watchful enemies an opportunity they’ve laid in wait for. And they’re coming to Walla Walla. Trapped between panicked drug smugglers and old enemies, Corus once again steps between the thin gray lines, putting mission before his life and career.
