Badge of Justice #4

Officer Gus Miller is exiled from the gritty city beat to a quiet suburban precinct—a seemingly dull assignment that becomes anything but when he spots Danny Stone, a dangerous criminal from his past, setting up operations in the area. With patience and street smarts, Miller pieces together that Stone and his crew are planning a major heist, and he takes it upon himself to stop them before they strike.

Homer Lovett, a dedicated twenty-two-year veteran cop working the quiet suburban beat, faces forced retirement due to heart trouble—just as he's never had the chance to prove himself in a big case. When a series of burglaries hits his neighborhood, Lovett's instincts and patience finally give him the opportunity he's been waiting for. A humble officer's final shift becomes the moment that defines his entire career.

Sergeant Carstairs trades in the action of military helicopter rescue for what he considers the dull routine of traffic patrol over the city parkways—until a radio dispatch for a gas station robbery gives him the chance to prove that even monotonous duty can turn explosive. When fleeing suspects speed down the highway ahead of delayed ground units, Carstairs takes his helicopter into an unconventional pursuit that forces both criminal and cop to think fast.

When tension boils over at Grey Meadows Prison, an undercover agent goes deep to uncover who's orchestrating the unrest before the whole institution explodes. Bob Griffin earns the trust of the inmates—and the suspicion of those watching from above—as he inches closer to discovering the mastermind behind a plan that could blow the lid off the entire facility. Written by the creators of Badge of Justice, "Keg of Dynamite" is a taut 1955 crime story where one man's dangerous double life becomes his only weapon against chaos.
