Miles Corwin Books in Order

Corwin follows two Los Angeles homicide detectives through a summer of investigations in South Central. Their contrasting backgrounds and developing partnership anchor this account of murder cases, police work, and the lives affected by urban violence.

Following twelve gifted students through a school year at Crenshaw High, Corwin examines academic ambition amid poverty, violence, and family crises. Contrasting teaching styles and political pressures complicate their efforts to turn exceptional ability into opportunity.

Corwin spends a year with an elite Los Angeles homicide unit handling difficult and prominent cases. Six investigations reveal detectives' methods, professional relationships, and persistent efforts to understand killings whose complexities reach beyond the initial crime scenes.

Former detective Ash Levine returns to the LAPD to investigate a retired officer's murder. Still haunted by a witness's death, he quietly pursues that unresolved case as well, risking his safety in a world of corruption and compromise.

Ash Levine investigates two young men's deaths in a Venice alley, one victim being a councilman's son. Connections to organized crime, military veterans, and archaeology deepen the case, while the detective discovers that he may also be a target.
