«Code 10» is Donald Harstad's police suspense novel, published by Le Cherche Midi in paperback (285 pages, in French).
Sheriff Carl Houseman investigates the murder of a narcotics agent and a dealer in his jurisdiction; days later, another officer is shot dead at the home of a far-right activist. The arrival of the FBI and other agencies complicates the investigation: rivalries, secrets and personal frictions hinder collaboration. The novel stands out for its dry, documentary style in portraying police procedures.
Second installment in the Carl Houseman series. Originally published in English as Known Dead (1999).
For readers of crime fiction and procedural thrillers who appreciate realism in investigative procedures.
