It’s Hard to Keep a Good Cop Down


By Carl Austin

Are you familiar with the old adage, “If it wasn’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all?”  Well, that pretty much sums up Inspector Dennis Delaney’s situation in a nutshell.  For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of reading some or all of the four crime novels in which he’s been prominently featured, Dennis has had his share of bad luck.  Since the very first book, he’s not only been called onto the carpet by his superior, clubbed into submission by a Chinese gang member and brainwashed by a lovely lady librarian, but his finances are such that it’s a miracle he can keep a roof over his head.
