About the Book
"Detective Danni Grace has never met a police officer who wants to face a scenario where pulling the trigger on another person is the only option. When the worst does occur and there's a police-involved shooting, it leads to riots and calls to disband the entire police force in La Rosa, Danni's hometown. After fifteen years on the force, Danni has had enough. Injured in the line of duty when a protester throws a chunk of concrete at her and shaken by the vitriol being shown to the police, Danni realizes for the first time that she's lost her passion for the job. While she's on a leave of absence, though, a community activist in La Rosa is shot and a fellow officer is blamed for his murder. Taking on this case means stepping back into a job Danni's not sure she can do anymore... and working closely with her ex-husband, Gabriel Fox, an investigator for the city prosecutor's office. Danni will need to tap into her code of courage to uncover the truth, prevent another injustice, and uphold her oath to serve and protect."--Back cover.Book Synopsis

When La Rosa detective Danni Grace is injuried on the job she takes a leave of absence to reevaluate her plans and her future. If she hadn't been forced to take time off she never would have walked away. But now, she's stepped back enough to realize she's lost her passion for the only job she ever wanted. When she finds out a fellow officer is accused of murder her detective instincts kick in. But is it enough to make her return to the job? Can she tap in to her code of courage enough to work for a community that seems to be turning against her and her fellow officers? Soon she finds herself face to face with her ex-husband and former best friend, Invesigator Gabriel Fox. Can she trust him? What happened between them? What is up with people at his office? Has the whole town gone mad? The pages of this story are filled with action, mystery, new cases, cold cases, on the job injuries, good guys, and monsters. Meanwhile faith reigns throughout the lives of the characters. Where does God stand? Can He be trusted? Why doesn't He intervene? I am always intrigued by Janice Cantore's stories. As a former police officer her insight is always engaging. Code of Courage is blood pressure raising from page one. A completely gripping, is-this-for-real page-turner. Cantore is a master storyteller with the law enforcement perspective. In more than one of her stories she has made me ponder my view of things and how police officers would see them. Thank you NetGalley and Tyndale House Publishers for the opporunity to review this inspiring story.
Very Impressive!

3.5 stars "Lady Justice is blindfolded for a reason. Justice is for everyone or it's for no one. As soon as we start deciding who deserves what and why, we've stepped out of uniform and crossed a line." Confused and discouraged, Danni Grace is ready to give up the profession that she once thought was her calling. Injured during a protest turned violent, Danni steps away in order to evaluate a lot of things; not only her job as a detective, but a another decision that she now regrets; breaking ties with her husband. Why, after two years of separation, had he shown up at the hospital to check on her? As an investigator for La Rosa's city prosecutor's office, Gabriel Fox becomes involved in the incidents that surround his ex-wife's injury. When matters escalate once again following an officer involved shooting, Gabriel's defense of the officer lands him back at a desk job pushing papers . . . on cold case files, one of which snags his undivided attention. What were the chances . . . . ? And what were the chances that his re-entry into Danni's life is for a reason that even his non-religious mind cannot ignore? Written with a polished inside perspective on the role of local police officers within a community, this story is both enlightening and sobering as it dissects what can happen, and sadly is happening, when boundaries are removed and citizens, as well as those sworn to protect them, are left defenseless. On a deeper level though, it's a really sweet look at the path of reconciliation between two people who were never meant to be alone. Plus . . . . it's a great crime story; I certainly couldn't fit all the pieces back together. Can you? "You might be surprised at how easy your other decisions are once your relationship with God is straightened out."
