City Primeval - The all knowing, not-so-good cop reemerges and clears the scene.

LaBrava - Florida. Leonard really didn't like country brutes, here he kills another, but with a twist in that the woman is not a pawn this time.

Glitz - Puerto Rico and Atlantic City - Iris off the 18th floor. Our psychopath this time is even less likable.

Freaky Deaky - this is my favorite so far, Cruz reappears briefly as a Homicide detective. Burned out hippies attempt to relive their revolutionary past in 80s Detroit. (
