Fault Lines — Teri White

Ex-New York cop Bryan Murphy has begun a healthy but dull new life in Los Angeles, recovering from a heart attack. When ex-con Tray Detaglio asks him to help locate his former girlfriend Kathryn Daily (who may have mothered his child), Murphy jumps at the chance to exercise his detective skills.

Only a few city blocks away, Dwight St. John and Chris Moore (cellmates on the Inside and roommates on the Out side) are scheming and dreaming big dreams--dreams that go beyond the occasional liquor store heist. One day in a bar, that same Kathryn Daily offers them an opportunity--a big opportunity--that will pay for all their dreams, forever.

Murphy and Detaglio comb through strip joints, communes, and a drug baron's Beverly Hills fortress until they find what they're looking for--and clash with two of the most determined ex-cons ever produced by the California criminal justice system.
