Smoke Signals (A John Tall Wolf Novel Book 4) - Plot & Excerpts
His rise through the force’s hierarchy had been both steady and relatively swift. Still, he had all of his equally ranked colleagues and another 33 assistant and deputy commissioners to leapfrog if he wanted to reach his ultimate goal of becoming commissioner of the whole shooting match.He’d carefully analyzed the dozens of men and a handful of women equal to or above him in rank. He knew their ages, strengths, weaknesses and dirty little secrets. Sifting out the ones who’d retire before ever reaching the top, the ones whose records didn’t match his own, the ones he could expose or subtly blackmail, he figured his real competition numbered two men and perhaps one woman.The woman was Deputy Commissioner Eileen Murphy, who was currently sitting in judgment of Jules’ nephew, Sergeant Serge Marchand. One of the two men he viewed as real competition was Chief Superintendent Edward Bramley, who was both Rebecca Bramley’s uncle and her godfather. That SOB also had the top job in his sights.Based on their records in the RCMP, it might take a coin-flip to decide which man would take the top spot, unless a wave of political correctness and women’s rights swept them both aside for Eileen Murphy.
