“A must-read for every cop who ever worked the streets of a major city and for anyone with an appreciation of realistic literature that depicts what it will always mean to be a cop.”
Jerry Sanders, mayor of San Diego
It's 1978 in "America's Finest City"—San Diego, California—and one rookie cop is learning the hardest lessons the streets have to teach. Luke Jones—a recently graduated, Shakespeare-quoting literature major—is about to discover that dealing with crooks is the easiest part of his new job. For here, in a world populated by people ruled by their obsessions, Luke's strong will and quick tongue alienate many of his senior officers, and he must fight for acceptance. Though eventually labeled a hero, his success comes at great cost.
The Sticking Place is the first in the Luke Jones series, which follows one cop's career from rookie to retirement.

Witty and full of grit, The Sticking Place, follows an unusual cop duo. Based on T.B. Smiths years of police experience, this book has the full details of police life, the hard realities of the street and inner city politics. Luke Jones is a new kind of hero. A Shakespeare quoting hero. Barry Kraft narrates. With his experience as an Oregon Shakespeare actor his performance of Luke Jones is spot on!
I didn't know what I expected, but not this! I fell into the Ride Along with the rookie and I couldn't get off. This audiobook sucked me into the world of cops; politics, paperwork, comrades, good feelings and not so good feelings. The narrator was excellent too! I was sorry when it ended and I'm expectedly waiting for the next one!
