Devereaux was a tough cop, tough to encounter and impossible to bluff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDevereaux was doing a little chortling of his own. He was still young enough to enjoy life; he wanted to read some books, take a little trip, fulfill a few dreams. He was sitting in his car that evening, thinking about his beautiful future, when his beautiful future -- in the form of Jennifer Phillips -- opened the door of the car, sat down, and said, \"Please hurry \"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo she was twenty years his junior -- so what? She was very, very beautiful, she was in trouble, and Devereaux was ripe for romance. Or call it an automatic reflex, if you prefer to think of him as a tough cop; say he had been on the force so long that he responded mechanically to a try for assistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Roeburt returned in his fourth to the tough-guy genre and a character modeled on the later Bogart.\" -- Mike Nevins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 226\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 23, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755067441440,"sku":"9781479444625","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/e0b90bf1878df7b4c9414c94c5adcef5.webp?v=1780049689","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/tough-cop-a-johnny-devereaux-mystery-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
