    Scar Tissue is the first novel in a projected series of detective/mysteries in the spirit of
    Raymond Chandler and Robert B. Parker. Robert “Lucky” Lucas, a fifty year old retired police

    charges, but adamantly proclaims his innocence. During his investigation, Lucas becomes
    convinced Rhodes is the victim of jealousy and crooked cops, and is trapped in the middle of a
