Slab City Blues - The Collected Stories: All Five Stories In One Volume - Plot & Excerpts
If so, I must be missing something. Apart from a slight bump in salary, the benefits of promotion so far amounted to an increased workload and the unwelcome responsibility of running my own squad. Rather than unleash my singular management style on the whole of Homicide, Sherry had opted to put me in charge of a newly created sub-division: Special Homicide. It was basically an expansion of my previous role, benefiting from the addition of no less than three Inspector-grade Demons and a clutch of civilian analysts. I’d been allowed to pick them myself, my selection criteria being narrowed by the need to find people with a basic level of competence, not the easiest thing at the best of times. Joe had been my first pick, now elevated to Inspector First Grade and ostensibly my second-in-command. “Security-cam coverage for the Quad runs at a daily average of thirty percent,” he told me as I settled behind my desk. He had to stoop to make it through the door. I had a small office separated from the rest of the squad room by a heavily besmirched glass partition.
