Renegade Cop (originally published as Alley Girl) is a hardboiled noir story about Steve Lambert, a renegade cop. He's got a guy in jail as a material witness, when someone offers him $5000 to get the guy convicted. He's happy to do it, but he wants $20,000. He's also banging the guy's wife, who submits in the hope that he'll get her husband freed. And that's just for starters. Lambert is one bad dude.

Craig takes pains to show that not all cops are like Lambert, but of course Lambert's the interesting one. Craig also had his copy of Psychopathia Sexualis open when he was writing this one. There's some kinky stuff, along with some very '50s attitudes that are now very un-PC. Don't say we didn't warn you.
