Summary
After five years on the police force, a bullet in the kiester from a vengeful gangbanger convinces Walt that it’s time to turn in his badge.
Walt realizes once again that retirement just isn’t his cup of tea and, with a little urging from his brother-in-law, decides to become a private investigator.
For five years he had served the Lady Justice wearing a white robe and a blindfold and followed the rules, but he soon discovered that the P.I. business was leading him across the line into the dark side and a completely different set of rules.
When Walt comes face-to-face with the Lady Justice on the dark side, dressed in a tight skirt, fishnet stockings, and high heels, he is faced with decisions that will change the course of his life.

To protect and serve.
Narrator George Kuch returns again as Walt Williams, at a new turning point in his life. After five years with the police in the special unit C.R.A.P., Walt, from his hospital bed recovering from a gunshot wound taken in the line of duty, decides to keep his promise to his wife, Maggie, and retire. He is, after all, 70 years of age and she wants to be able to enjoy some quality years with him - they've only been married for four rather danger filled years.
But Walt is bored and starts helping his brother in law in his P.I. business. But there is a dilemma for him to face - the way that a P.I. conducts business is often very different from the police procedure, where everything has to be undertaken with caution and the careful preservation of lines of evidence. It might get the job done more efficiently, but is it right to break in and search a suspect's home, even take away evidence from it, without the sanctity of a warrant? And what is justice, anyway?
This is easy to listen, George Kuch's performance, as ever, perfectly capturing the spirit of Walt Williams as he relates his stories and inner troublings. This fun but serious story by Robert Thornhill in his marvellous Lady Justice series again presents the reader with important ideas to ponder, not only about justice itself but also changes in society over the past seventy years. Characterisation is excellent, the protagonists are real people, good, bad and sometimes irritating, the ideas are considered from all sides and the tone still remains light despite the depth of subject matter. Marvellous.
The books are all stand alone and can be read in any order. It is always a pleasure to meet again with querky old friends in the series: and Walt has a lot of friends.
Highly recommended

Biting the bullet
Wow, I knew from previous books tha Walt Williams was getting dissolutioned with being a cop but never thought he would actually retire. I enjoyed this book but spent the whole book waiting for him to say he had changed his mind, it never came but what did was lots of bullets and rule bending. The usual gang were all present for the story and like normal it was a fun easy listen, if unexpected. I mean if Walt Willisms isn't a cop than what is he? It was fun to see how a by the book policeman can get talked into bending rules as a P.i. Look forward to seeing how this new career path unfolds for Walt. And where it leaves Ox and the captain when he needs another under guy because for some reason I don't think they will have seen the last of rookie cop Walt or I hope they haven't.
With all the killings in the last book the tension is still high in Kansa City and Walt and Ox walk into an ambush which leaves Walt getting shot. Walt comes to the conclusion that enough is enough and he has probably used up all his luck that Lady Justice is willing to give him so it is time to get before he his carried out. By the first hour Walt is board and when Maggie's brother asks for help with his P.i business, nothing dangerous just watching the back of a store for a thief Walt jumps at the chance to get away from Jerry's jokes, Willy's checkers and computer games. Things go smoothly and more and more people ask for help but the brother of one of the boys killed has sworn vengeance and is stalking cop and a certain ex-cop in perticually.
George Kuch has never turned in a bad performance as Walt William's and he definitely doesn't start with this book either.
