Have you ever had that one friend that was so different, that really stuck out, the one that often embarrassed you, but also the one you'd do anything for, and you know your oddball compadre— your wonderful friend— would do the same for you? The reader is introduced to Lieutenant Detective Jeffrey Corrigan's sidekick, Detective Mike Price, in If Memory Serves, Vol 1 of the Dr. Tara Ross series, and remains ever-present in all the Dr. Tara Ross books because you can't help but laugh at, be shocked by, and yes, love Mike Price. He's that sort of guy. I molded the character, Mike Price after Detective Andy Sipowicz of NYPD Blue,both Irreverent, mouthy, opinionated, but crackerjack homicide detectives who any detective would be lucky to have at their side. Jeffrey and Mike go back to their boyhood days in the Bronx, NY, where Mike more often than not got Jeffrey in trouble. And that hasn't changed much! Now both Manhattan homicide detectives, they work side by side, and they always will.
Book Excerpt
If Memory Serves-Dr. Tara Ross Vol 1
Mike rapped on Jeffrey's door to the tune of Shave and a Haircut.
Jeffrey grinned and knocked back twice on his desk--Two bits.
"I see our illustrious captain has left the premises. Lieutenant, can I speak to you in interview room one?" Mike asked.
"Sure thing." Jeffrey winked at Tara. "I'll be right back."
He scurried down the hall after Price. He found him, pacing in the interview room.
Mike smoothed his thick, wavy brown hair and traced his fingers across his mustache.
"So what's up with Alice in Wonderland? Looks like she dropped down one hell of a rabbit hole."
"Give her break, eh? She's had a traumatic day. I got her out of lock up. She's clear. Liz confirmed she's an OB/GYN in Brewster."
"A gynecologist? Now that's my dream job. Naked women all day long."
"I'm sure they don't look at it that way."
"The only naked women I see are all dead. I don't even get to see Amy naked anymore. It's a shame too since her tits are enormous now that she's pregnant."
Jeffrey gave him a disapproving look.
"Well, it's true. She's huge! Due next month."
Jeffrey sighed. Since their childhood, his best friend lacked a filter between his brain and his mouth. His Id reigned supreme over his Ego and Superego.
Mike rested his hands on his hips. "What are going to do about Dr. Tara?"
"I'm going to drive her home. And then I'm going to ask her out."
"You're a fool to drive Dr. Who home in this weather. It's starting to come down hard. And what do you know about her anyway?"
"It'll work out. I hope."
