I was sworn in Jan 69 with LASD. Worked SBI and hung out in Chinatown…. Read all three of Dallas Barnes books (See the Woman by Dallas L. Barnes (1973) ) when they came out and always wondered what happened to him? Loved his books. Do you have any clues?
Old and retired now, crazy memories. Will check out some of these other books.
