Matt Rudd Series (#1-3) by Richard Deming
Requirements: ePUB reader, 2.1mb
Overview: Deming’s launching of a “…durable crime series went to a good-looking but unmarried, 30-something vice cop, Matt Rudd. Actually, the man’s name was Mateusz Rudowski, and he was a Polish-American investigator… “I’m not ashamed of my real name and I’m proud of my Polish ancestry,” Deming’s character explains at one point, “but people always ask me to spell it when I introduce myself as Mateusz Rudowski. They just nod when I say Matt Rudd.”
The action in these police procedurals takes place in a fictional burg called St. Cecelia, located…well, who knows where. It’s been suggested that Deming had southern California in mind, yet his occasional references to local ward politics, heavily ethnic European quarters of town, and urban factories burning soft coal enough to leave “a pall of smoke hanging over the city” hint at a Rust Belt setting instead. St. Cecelia is an ostensibly inviting place, but it claims undercurrents of sin and criminal racketeering that somehow fail to earn mention in tourist brochures. Even the police department isn’t quite above reproach. It “isn’t graft-ridden,” Sergeant Rudd insists, “despite what the general public thinks. But it is subject to pretty heavy political influence, because the police board is politically appointed.”
