McQuaid
Rifkin, Shepard
Thirty-seven years old,
single, former high school dropout, Damian McQuaid is a tough New York
police lieutenant whose wit is as quick as his professional hunches. A
member of the force for eleven years, he figures that he’s “probably the
only guy on it who didn’t live in Queens.”
McQuaid is also his
own man. So when Shimmy, a good friend, is robbed of $250,000 worth of
diamonds and found slumped, very dead, in a Kennedy Airport phone booth,
he knows he could never enjoy the vacation he was headed for until he
finds the murderer. “Diamonds,” he admits early on, “didn’t mean
anything to me except trouble.”
Shimmy never made it to Los
Angeles, but McQuaid does. There he is given police courtesy and a
partner named Freedman, a Jewish cop with a seen-it-all sarcasm. When
the two ofthem begin to investigate the seamy world of big-money jewelry
dealing and check out a fancy firm called Breckenridge, McQuaid not
only gets his first important lead in the case, but meets a beautiful
Breckenridge employee named Joan Roberts. The lady, however, turns out
to be involved in stealing more than McQuaid’s heart—and McQuaid, in a
chilling denouement, is forced to examine both his personal and
professional values.
