Pros rec again

I came upon this one by simply reading all the stories of Ellis Ward available online: Killing Notes
The title made me curious, the beginning captivated me instantly, and so I plunged in and was not disappointed, quite the opposite. It is a matter-of-fact case story with very recognisable lads and the usual ep-like banter. And as the case develops, the affection for each other grows, beautifully worked out by the author in tender, understated little scenes.
