Sketch of a Murder (Special Crimes Team) (Volume 1)

Governor Marleton forms a unit, the Special Crimes Team, to take the heat and to hunt down the killer. The unit, seen as the Siberia of Law Enforcement, is comprised of misfits and loners, cops who’ve pissed somebody off. Sergeant Nita Slowater, a mixed Native American, knew she should never have knocked that reporter on his skinny, white ass. Now she’s stuck as the second-in-command of the Special Crimes Team. As if that isn’t bad enough, her superior, Lieutenant Michael Williams, a black man, is in a constant state of PMS and riding her case. If they can’t figure out a way to get along, more men will die at the hands of the self-dubbed Avenger. The only bright spot in Nita’s life is her unlikely friendship with a homeless black woman, Molly the Pack Lady. Then Molly dies and wills her artwork to Nita. Within the Old Woman’s art lies the key to the killer’s identity. But will Nita discover it before an innocent man dies?
