   Reader note

   The first book features two male protagonists, the second has no romantic pairing. It combines episodic crime-solving with a main long-running case. Crimes are solved without a system, cheat codes, or special abilities; it's plot-driven. The focus is on crime-solving. It touches on criminal investigation and reasoning, trace evidence examination (blood, footprints, ballistics, etc.), Forensic medicine, and criminal psychology (with a touch of criminal cartography).
