Officer Involved

Where the heck is Sioux City, Iowa? If local newspaper reporter Tom Kingman hadn’t dropped by a domestic disturbance police call in the middle of a June swelter, people might still think of Sioux City only as a quiet town at the junction of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. Tom’s witnessing of an officer-involved shooting leads to an epiphany: not everyone in Iowa is friendly and polite, especially Tom’s fellow Iowans who are involved in a multi-state drug ring. He even discovers that Assistant Woodbury County Attorney Hillary Reed has a secret. The wisecracking, skeptical Kingman soon finds himself thrown into an unlikely alliance with the deliberative, calm, religious Reed for a seventy-two-hour frenzied pursuit of the truth about meth, murder ... and each other.
