For here, in a world populated by people ruled by their obsessions, Luke's strong will and quick tongue alienate many of his senior officers, and he must fight for acceptance. Though eventually labeled a hero, his success comes at great cost. The Sticking Place is the first in the Luke Jones series, which follows one cop's career from rookie to retirement.

a "Ride Along" trip with a rookie cop
-
I didn't know what I expected, but not this! I fell into the Ride Along with the rookie and I couldn't get off. This audiobook sucked me into the world of cops; politics, paperwork, comrades, good feelings and not so good feelings.
The narrator was excellent too! I was sorry when it ended and I'm expectedly waiting for the next one!

Great Debut Novel
-
Witty and full of grit, The Sticking Place, follows an unusual cop duo. Based on T.B. Smiths years of police experience, this book has the full details of police life, the hard realities of the street and inner city politics.
Luke Jones is a new kind of hero. A Shakespeare quoting hero.
Barry Kraft narrates. With his experience as an Oregon Shakespeare actor his performance of Luke Jones is spot on!
