One of the better entries in this always good series. I really liked the segment set back in 1985 with the young Lucas on patrol trying to make detective. I thought the present day plot was also good and I always enjoy the supporting characters. Listened to the audio version which was narrated by Richard Ferrone who did his usual excellent job.4 stars.🇺🇸🤙
Bodies of two young girls are found in a building being demolished, and they date back to the mid 80's when Davenport was a new police officer on that case.

Lucas is 23, and he's spent three years as a uniformed patrolman. He finally gets his chance to make his bones as a plainclothes homicide dude. This is when he's first getting to know some of our favorite characters like Del Capslock and Sloan. Loved it! That first case from 1985 resurfaces (so to speak, heh heh) in the present day, and Lucas is all
