The Force 80%

Danny wears a wire to July 4th party with his team.  Russo and Monty, experienced cops, sense he's flipped on them.  "Get in the pool!" they shout, and he ends up fleeing the party.  They meet later at Morningside Park.  Monty is thinking about killing Danny (who can't deny he's a rat, but won't confirm it either.)  Then Danny's phone rings. A guy from Internal Affairs.  On speaker, with Russo and Monty listening, the IAB guy identifies Levin as the rat. 

Danny reprieved, for a moment, but Monty is not convinced.

(Danny turns when the Feds tell him that they can jail his wife as well because she won't be able to explain her spending, the size of her bank accounts, etc.  Tax evasion charges at the minimum.)

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin . . . finished

 Follows Sadie and Sam (Mazer) from childhood to mid-thirties when both are feeling old and a bit out of it in the gaming world.  Characters are well-rounded, develop throughout the novel in interesting way.  Plot is involved but sensible.  Not a single, "Oh, come on!" moment.  The book could have been faster paced. Odd, since the main topic is video games which are not for their speed of engagement and Gabrielle Zevin clearly knows her video games. Recommended by Michael Connelly in an interview.  He also has Bosch pick up the book in his novel, Resurrection Walk, as Bosch tails a possible witness to a crime as she moves through a bookstore. Sadie and Sam do not get together at the end, which is good.   Marx killed by homophobic nutcase who really wants to kill Sam, but Sam isn't there. Marx is father of Sadie's child.

The Franchise Affair, Josephine Tey--opening pages

Blair, a lawyer in Milford, gets a strange call.  His practice is wills and similar--nothing criminal.  A woman tells him that Scotland Yard is accusing her of abduction and implores him to come out to help her, even if later on he passes the case to someone else.  The woman says she has called him because he is "her type," meaning respectable and conservative.  He agrees.
