THE 95 FILE is NOT about Disbro. It's about a pair of
homicide cops in an unnamed Ohio metropolis on the trail of a
gang of cop-killers.
Though it's post-Wambaugh, and Martin was a serving cop at
the time it was published, it owes more to Jack Webb and
DRAGNET than to THE NEW CENTURIONS. It even ends with a short
epilog telling what happened to all the offenders at their
trials.
Damned good novel, even without Disbro. I'm kind of sorry he
abandoned the procedural and took up PI's.
