   One book focuses on solving crimes. The protagonist is highly intelligent, but his demeanor resembles that of a murderer, making him particularly attractive to both police and criminals. [Eating popcorn emoji] The book has many male supporting characters, mostly handsome. The second book's protagonist joins the 15th Regiment at age 6 due to his family background. His father, a drug lord involved in illegal organ trafficking, needs his heart. To protect him, the authorities make an exception and admit him. As a child, he was the darling of the group; as an adult, he's the group's bully, spoiled by everyone around him.
