Life becomes more complicated than usual for LAPD Captain Josie Corsino after she chairs a disciplinary board that recommends firing a five-year police officer with a poor performance record and a history of irrational behavior. During his board of rights, the officer swears vengeance against her and anyone he believes is responsible for ruining his life and career.When one of the board members, a prominent gay civil rights attorney, is shot to death outside a Hollywood gay bar, another board member ambushed and Josie's home firebombed, the obvious suspect is the unstable officer, and he soon becomes the target of an intense manhunt causing havoc and fear among those who knew him.

More than a police procedural, Warning Shots focusses on Josie’s viewpoint, her strength of character, and her faith in those she cares for as they help her study the clues. It’s a faith well-placed in some cases, maybe less so in others. It’s a faith that the tiniest detail, when discovered, will shatter or strengthen. In Warning Shots, the reader can follow those warning signs to their natural ends.
There are no simply good and bad characters in Connie Dial’s writing; her creations have the depth and flaws of real people; they grow through events that shape them, just as the Josie Corsino novels grow into a picture of time and place and people. Real problems fill these pages and haunt the reader, burning the barrier between imagination and hope. Josie Corsino will surely win through, but there’s mystery, betrayal and politics on the way—problems that may well find resolution in the warning shots of detail.
Disclosure: I was given a preview edition and I loved it. There again, I love the series. ( )
