Great Modern Police Stories: Tales of Mystery & Suspense from the Fictional Files of the Law (1986) by Bill Pronzini, Martin H. Greenberg (ed. Sun77)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 0.6Mb
Overview: Modern police work is much different than it was forty years ago; the same is true of modern police fiction, as the stories in this anthology demonstrate. Realism is the key ingredient here. You won’t find any stereotypical buffoons, any anti-or non-heroes with small minds and the behavioral patterns of a gorilla. The cops in these pages are professional crime-busters and puzzle-solvers and, just as importantly, they are men and women you can (and surely will) believe in and care about. Contemporary police officers doing their job, that is the essence of these stories—and doing it so well that their investigations one and all provide a high level of entertainment.
Enjoy.
