I'd read some mysteries before, but never a police procedural.<br /><br />One of my favorite secondary characters in my Russian historicals is the police officer Harry Baron, whom I've included in all three books so far. I wrote about him at http://carrieannebrownian.wordpress.com/2012/04/09/harry-baron/. There's also a minor recurring cop character in my Atlantic City books, who's always referred to as "the cop with the cute ass." He's finds it rather frustrating how he's almost always assigned to stupid, ridiculous cases (like trespassing at a private swimming hole) instead of real criminal matters.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-46975432508475550572014-09-10T13:23:34.513-04:002014-09-10T13:23:34.513-04:00I actually work for the police, though as a progra...I actually work for the police, though as a programmer.

What about a detective with a skinny, weak physique who appears to be ineffective and passive? What if he uses his appearance to disguise a very clever mind? Or what about a dirty cop? See, this is why these tips are great. You can use them to create a strong, good officer, or you can use them to turn that cop on his head and make him evil :)Liz Blockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16160510626027597666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-45094956703110114442014-09-10T12:35:36.473-04:002014-09-10T12:35:36.473-04:00THANK YOU SO MUCH for downloading 30 Seconds!!!!!!...THANK YOU SO MUCH for downloading 30 Seconds!!!!!!
