The Cop Guy: A SoCal Novel by Mark Barkawitz
This book starts out with  Michael and he's got his hands full.
A pregnant girlfriend Bonnie, a runaway woman, Emily that is involved in testifying at a court trial about cartel drugs, tennis coach, baseball pitcher, FBI asking questions of him, Mike is just trying to live. He lives at a woman's house who he housesits for, cleaning out her garage and gets the ex husbands car running. Mike also sells his old baseball cards to make ends meet.
Robert shooting a gun at baseball game, the scenes go on. 
At times the scenes are funny but they  are also very dire.
Love the very descriptive details, this would make a really good movie! Like how he earns his money, almost something for him and he finds them. He has many colorful friends and work connections. He has so much going against him and then he falls off the roof.
Love male point of view, no frilly or flowery things.
Amazing how all these connection to Mike and he can wrap it up so quickly with no cliff hangers.
Can't wait to read more from this author.
