Detective implacable

Rain-slicked patrol cars outside a dockside dive, two a.m. A lieutenant spots his partner’s badge on a dealer’s table. The badge leads him to a stolen-cop .38, then a stash of seized heroin, then names on a blue sheet that point back to his own squad. Sturges channels Bullitt in trench coats and lies.
