Croaker
Summary
With the unit she leads facing a run of unsolved cases, Los Angeles homicide detective Fey Croaker is under intense pressure to solve the murder of a woman with multiple IDs, a million dollars in cash hidden in her dryer, and only brand new clothing and furniture in her brand new condo. When fingerprints inexplicably reveal the mystery woman was murdered 18 years earlier in San Francisco, Fey feels her career crashing down around her. Complications in the twisted case compound when investigation reveals the woman's husband - the man convicted of killing her the first time - was released on parole only weeks before she was killed again. However, the victim has many more surprises for everyone involved - especially for Fey, who finds herself a suspect when the investigation takes a turn for the deadly. Having outlasted three dead-end marriages, a severely abusive upbringing, and the relentless resentment of her male colleagues on the force, Fey is a hard-bitten, cynical, and driven survivor. With her integrity, freedom, and life on the line, Fey Croaker is about to unleash all the anger inside her - and nobody better get in her way.

Felony Fists
Summary
Los Angeles 1954. Patrick "Felony" Flynn has been fighting all his life. Learning the "sweet science" from Father Tim the fighting priest at St. Vincent's, the Chicago orphanage where Pat and his older brother Mickey were raised, Pat has battled his way around the world - first with the Navy and now with the Los Angeles Police Department. Legendary LAPD chief William Parker is on a rampage to clean up both the department and the city. His elite crew of detectives known as The Hat Squad is his blunt instrument - dedicated, honest, and fearless. Promotion from patrol to detective is Pat's goal, but he also yearns to be one of the elite - and his fists are going to give him the chance. Gangster Mickey Cohen runs LA's rackets, and murderous heavyweight Solomon King is Cohen's key to taking over the fight game. Chief Parker wants Patrick “Felony” Flynn to stop him - a tall order for middleweight ship's champion with no professional record. Leading with his chin, and with his partner, LA's first black detective Tombstone Jones, covering his back, Patrick Flynn and his Felony Fists are about to fight for his future, the future of the department, and the future of Los Angeles.
