The Black Marble by Joseph Wambaugh
He is a damned good cop - a burned-out homicide detective wrapped around a Smith & Wesson .38 and a vodka bottle. She is his partner - twice divorced, nursing a grudge against men, obsessed by the awful temptation of love. “Wambaugh sidesteps all the clichés…He has the ability to portray women as flesh-and-blood, thinking human beings.” ― The Sun (Baltimore) First-rate…Fast, colorful, and gripping…as touching as it is breathlessly entertaining.” ― Cosmopolitan
