Leroy Powder, the difference between right and wrong has gotten as murky as the coffee that gets him through the night.

But at the end of a particularly grueling shift, Lieutenant Powder gets a call from an informant who claims he&’s found a dead body. Turns out Johnny Uncle was telling the truth.

And that the story has just begun—and that the night is far from over. Night Cover is the 1st book in the Lt. Leroy Powder Novels, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
