Publisher's Synopsis
Never a dull moment when Hadley and Fredricks fill in for an ailing detective on a murder at a software development firm. Handyman Matt has a punch list to tend to in the firm's building afterhours and brings his best friend, Judy, for company. He's busy when she witnesses a murder and recognizes the woman seen fleeing the scene. Should Judy risk the shaky bond with her new family by telling Hadley and Fredricks what she knows? Does her loyalty belong to the cops who saved her lived once outweigh that to her family? The sister-in-law gets her hired thugs after Judy, thinking she must be eliminated. The detectives discover that Jerry Hadley wined and dined the sister-in-law in the upscale restaurant next the murder scene the night before. Their best cop instincts, and Hadley's Charger, come into play again in a chase that climaxes in a feather-flying, chicken-poop-spewing shootout at a free range chicken coop.
