Undercover: The Ballad of Big Lou: A Detective Carlo D'Scenzi Novel #9
The Ballad of Big Lou
A Detective Carlo D'Scenzi Novel # 9
Before Carlo D’Scenzi had a partner, Big Lou Shultz had a past.
In the first eight novels of the D’Scenzi series, Big Lou has been Carlo’s bulldog in a bad mood—sharp-witted, tough as concrete, and loyal to a fault. But where did he come from? Why do the hardest cases always seem to find him?
Book 9 breaks the timeline to answer those questions.
From Marine Corps combat zones to a dead-end police department, Lou fought battles on every front—until one act of defiance during a heroic rescue lands him a shot at something The Blues, an elite task force of detectives chasing major crimes. But acceptance doesn’t come easy, and neither does redemption.
Follow Lou through a busted marriage, brutal calls, and a dangerous undercover op that tests his instincts and honor. Gritty, raw, and darkly funny, this is the origin story fans have been waiting for.
When the dust finally settles, Lou’s next move brings him face to face with a young detective named Carlo D’Scenzi—and the partnership that started it all.
