Judging Time by Leslie Glass

With New York City policewoman April Woo, Leslie Glass is rapidly creating an intensely loyal readership for her superb novels of criminal investigation and psychological suspense. Newly promoted to sergeant after several years bucking the NYPD's male-dominated system, Woo is first on the scene when the wife of a former football star is stabbed to death in Times Square, along with a male companion. Public frenzy immediately seizes on the husband as the killer, and Woo's former partner, homicide detective Mike Sanchez, is ready to go after him full throttle. But even with the heat coming down from City Hall, Woo doesn't like shortcuts-especially when the real killer may still be at large. *Fresh, exciting psychological suspense from a hot new author. *As an Asian-American policewoman, April Woo is unique in current crime fiction. *Leslie Glass has a strong and building track record. *Terrific reviews and quotes from well-known authors for her previous books. * Leslie Glass's Loving Time was chosen by Mostly Murder as one of the "Year's Best" novels in 1996.

Tracking Time by Leslie Glass

Amazon.com
The appealing Chinese American NYPD detective April Woo is back in this popular series. Psychiatrist Jason Frank has asked for her help in finding Maslow Atkins, a training analyst who's gone missing after a therapy session with his patient Allegra Caldera, a highly disturbed young woman. Maslow was last seen setting off for an evening run through Central Park, so April calls in a canine tracking unit. The dog's discovery of the body of a homeless man who was the only known witness to Maslow's abduction causes a rift between April and her boyfriend Mike Sanchez, the homicide cop who abruptly pulls rank to take over the case. But April stays on Maslow's trail anyway, and soon finds that although Allegra seems to be the logical suspect, two out-of-control teenagers from affluent families may also be involved in the kidnapping and murder. When Allegra turns out to be connected to Maslow in ways neither he nor Jason Frank suspected, the plot takes another fascinating turn.
What makes author Leslie Glass's police procedural series unique (Stealing Time, Judging Time, Loving Time) is the cross-cultural relationship between April and Sanchez, a romance doomed to failure, according to Skinny Dragon, April's endlessly fascinating mother. It took several books in the Time series for April to fall into Mike's well-muscled arms, and if Skinny Dragon has her way, there'll be plenty more before she dances at their wedding.

 

Stealing Time by Leslie Glass

With her mastery of police procedure and unflinching take on race relations, Leslie Glass is one of today's most original female suspense writers. April Woo's investigation of a child's disappearance in New York's Chinatown takes a nasty turn when suspicion falls on the wealthy parents. The father is hostile, the mother is unconscious, the police are without a lead, and all the pressure is on April. The facts don't add up and April's only hope of cracking the case is to find the child's real mother. Everyone involved is clearly hiding something, but is bound to silence by fear or guilt or both. With the reporters, her superior officers, and her own mother pressuring her, April is stuck in the middle of the kind of high-profile case most cops despise-- the kind of case perfect for cool-headed Sergeant Woo.
