Ring In the Dead: A J. P. Beaumont Novella

J. P. Beaumont may be an old homicide hand now, but back when he was a rookie working with his first partner, Milton Gurkeyamp;#8212;a.k.a. Picklesamp;#8212;things took a turn for the worse . . .

One day, at the end of Beaumont and Picklesamp;#39;s shift, a stop at the Doghouse restaurant quickly turns deadly. Not feeling well, Pickles steps out into the parking lot for a breath of fresh air and stumbles into a crime in progress. Suffering from a heart attack, he is found unconscious, with a dead woman on the ground nearby and the murder weapon in his hand.

With Pickles under investigation from Internal Affairs, itamp;#39;s up to the new kid on the block, J. P. Beaumont, and his friends on the force to find out the truth.
