Editorial Reviews
Review
Cathy Perkin's Honor Code is a tense police procedural whose hero is a taunt mix of weariness and optimism. The book begins with the kidnapping of the old man and as the mystery unravels the layered strands of family disfunction, fading communities and fractured marriages reveal a cop whose seen it all but still strives to make a difference. The crime and its solution are riveting, but not as compelling as the detective at the center of book.- Beachside Reviews
The opening scene is powerful in its imagery and emotion... the secondary characters added layers to the story that made me forget I was reading a novella - Renee Rearden

In a small, southern town an elderly widower disappears under questionable circumstances. Detective Larry Robbins knows in his gut George Beason needs help...and he intends to find him before it's too late.
The opening scene is powerful in its imagery and emotion. I connected immediately with both the victim and the hero. George Beason had to be found, and Robbins had to find him.
Though this police procedural is fast paced, the book never lost my interest. I also enjoyed the secondary characters. They added layers to the story that made me forget I was reading a novella. That doesn't happen often.
Honor Code is a great read that I would recommend to anyone that loves mysteries...and the fact it features characters from Ms Perkins' debut novel The Professor makes it even better!
Cathy Perkins knows how to keep the reader guessing. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Honor Code and look forward to picking up her future releases. I recommend Honor Code to readers of realistic mysteries.
But well worth the time.
