Detective Danni
Grace has never met a police officer who wants to face a scenario where pulling
the trigger on another person is the only option. When the worst does occur and
there's a police-involved shooting, it leads to riots and calls to disband the
entire police force in La Rosa, Danni's hometown.
After fifteen years on the force, Danni has had enough. Injured in the line of
duty when a protester throws a chunk of concrete at her and shaken by the
vitriol being shown to the police, Danni realizes for the first time that she's
lost her passion for the job.
While she's on a leave of absence, though, a community activist in La Rosa is
shot and a fellow officer is blamed for his murder. Taking on this case means
stepping back into a job Danni's not sure she can do anymore . . . and working
closely with her ex-husband, Gabriel Fox, an investigator for the city
prosecutor's office. Danni will need to tap into her code of courage to uncover
the truth, prevent another injustice, and uphold her oath to serve and protect.

Thoughts:
Code of Courage by Janice Cantore is a story that
is ripped from the cities that have gone "woke's" headlines. No
police. Cantore has taken a viewpoint of a cop who has their hand-tied behind
their backs because of "woke' politics. The story is realistic with the
internal hurts and betrayal by those who should be backing the police, not
forcing them to stay away from internal investigations. The plot does show the
incapilities and worsening of society when the police force is not allowed to
control and protect the citizens. This is a wonderful novel to give to anyone
who says the police force should not be in place. On the other hand, there is a
little romance, but it is from Danni and her ex-husband as they struggle with was
their divorce the correct thing to do a couple of years ago. Cantore does
include a faith struggle for Gabe, her ex-husband, as he tries to come to terms
with why Danni's father claimed the faith as his own. Overall, Code of Courage was an interesting
take on the current 'woke' reactions to no police force in our community. With
enough details to keep any reader flipping through the pages.
I received
a complimentary copy of Code
of Courage by Janice Cantore from Tyndale Publishing, but the opinions
stated are all my own.
