Three Shirt Deal: A Shane Scully Novel

by Stephen J. Cannell Narrated by Scott Brick

Overview

Truit Hickman is a small-time crook doing life in California's notoriously brutal Corcoran State Prison for the murder of his mother. He admitted to the crime, but now Hickman claims his confession was coerced by the cops. A beautiful Internal Affairs detective, Secada “Scout” Llevar, asks Shane to help investigate, and he agrees after learning the original homicide detective was Brian Devine, a ruthless cop with whom Scully has a bad history.

What begins as a routine review quickly turns into something much more deadly. The case is abruptly shut down by an LAPD deputy chief, and Shane begins to suspect that for unknown reasons Hickman really may have been framed by the police. But some things, once started, cannot be stopped, and the investigation spirals dangerously out of control, implicating a violent Hispanic gang, a millionaire power broker, and the front-runner in the Los Angeles mayoral race.

Meanwhile, Shane and Alexa struggle to save their marriage, which has come perilously close to disintegration since Alexa's near-fatal shooting in White Sister-just as Shane finds himself attracted to his new partner. Could the answer to their marital troubles be tied to the case he's investigating? In Cannell's heart-pounding thriller, Shane is tried in ways he has never been, risking his family, his job, and his life.

Editorial Reviews

JUN/JUL 08 - AudioFile

This seventh Shane Scully novel includes gang members, a corrupt cop, police politics, murders, and a shady DA. In addition, Scully is mired up to his holster in personal problems—wife problems, shrink problems, Internal Affairs problems, off-the-record investigation problems—and those are just some of his worries. Narrator Scott Brick brings his usual expert voice to this production. His delivery is tuned to the action, with just enough lilt for the women and just enough gruffness for the villains. With a slightly over-the-top but engaging plot and a solid presentation by Brick, THREE SHIRT DEAL should prove to be a hit with Scully fans. T.J.M. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
