7th Canon finished 4/5

Okay:
The bad cop is the bad cop, right from the start.  Connor.  He has sex tapes of aspiring politicians which he wants to use to revenge the firing of his father.  The sex tapes involve teen-age boys. He kills three of the boys to secure the tapes and keep himself in the clear. Donley figures it out with the help of Ross.  Donley, as a boy, killed his abusive father in a fight before Donley headed off to college--this to protect Mom from abusive Dad.  Ross lost his son (abducted) and became an alcoholic.  Ross redeems himself by helping Donley and will get his cop job back. Donley encounters Connor twice--once at a salvage dump where dogs attack both of them. Later, Connor shows up at Donley's house for a second climactic confrontation. This time Connor dies.  One climax too many.  The corrupt politicians, at the end, are exposed. Ross adopts. Donely's doctor wife is pregnant with a little girl.  Happy all around

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (18...
