THE RIDE-ALONG by Frank Zafiro and Colin Conway (Charlie-316 Crime Series, Book 5), Read by Damon Abdallah

Written by Frank Zafiro and Colin Conway

Narrated by Damon Abdallah

The Tyler Garrett scandal rocked the Spokane Police Department two years ago. Now, a consent decree governs the agency with Washington D.C. directing its reform. It’s a tumultuous time in the city, and public outcry over local and national events is high.

 Change is in the air.

 Officer Lee Salter is a third-generation cop who bleeds blue. Amid the departmental chaos, he does the only thing he can—be a good officer. That means showing up for every shift, responding to calls for service, and always doing the right thing. All the while, the Department of Justice and its local supporters hope to catch another officer in its net of reform.

 Salter refuses to be that officer.

 Melody Weaver is a teacher and activist who believes in a better way. Despite her demanding profession, she dedicates herself to the cause of reshaping policing in her city so that the terrible events—both local and national—can stop. To understand what needs to change, she needs to see the reality of the job up close.

 That means a ride-along on the graveyard shift.

 One night.

 Two people.

 And a nation’s problems.
