But this is not just any woman-this is "Rosie the Riveter," who attained her rank of detective by threats of a lawsuit, and who keeps getting bounced from one investigative unit to another because of her caustic, uncooperative nature.

So on Sammy's first assignment with Rosie, he guarantees himself trouble by preventing her from shooting an unarmed suspect, and then saying so when she lies about it. But then he picks up a piece of trash that turns his world upside down. . . .

Sammy: In Principle is Book 8 in the Sammy Series, which begins with Sammy: Dallas Detective. The story continues in Book 9, Sammy: Grave Agreement.
