Late Show 40%

Ballard spends this day working on the first crime in the book--the credit card theft.  She, with help from a call center in Mumbai, tracks perp (Nettles) to a motel room and busts him. She does not follow procedures to the letter and is criticized by another cop.  After that, she sleeps with the parole officer who has come out because Nettles is on parole.  She awakens in his apt and gets a call from Jenkins, her partner.  Her old partner, Chastain, has been murdered. (Chastain did not tell the truth when she complained about sexual harassment from Olivez.) She drives out to Chastain's place but Olivez sends her away. There is a suggestion that Chastain's murder is connected to the murders in the restaurant.  Murder was execution style.

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...
