Circumstances do not look propitious for Dallas Police Detective Sammy Kidman. His longtime partner receives a promotion to sergeant, so Sammy gets a new partner who happens to be a woman. But this is not just any woman-this is "Rosie the Riveter," who attained her rank of detective by threats of a lawsuit, and who keeps getting bounced from one investigative unit to another because of her caustic, uncooperative nature. So on Sammy's first assignment with Rosie, he guarantees himself trouble by preventing her from shooting an unarmed suspect, and then saying so when she lies about it. But then he picks up a piece of trash that changes his life. . . . Sammy: In Principle is the eighth in a series featuring the most misunderstood cop that was never on the Dallas police force. The Sammy Series begins with Sammy: Dallas Detective, but new readers can comfortably jump into the series at any point.
