Compton's Guide to Suicide

by B.K. Barrett

"If you want to meet God, do it on your own time not on my lunch hour..." is the mantra of Brassfield a veteran cop, who along with his imaginary partner, slog their way through the dead and the dying in his own struggle with life and death. Brassfield and his rookie partner are just trying to make it through the next shift without getting blood on their uniform. But that is what they want you to think. With tactless humor they examine the dead and the dying giving a dark guided tour of the world of suicide. But reality is more murderous than they know. A trap has been set and they find that dying is the only mystery left for them to uncover.
