mikek7316 (amusing 'member' line, by the way) - The Honor Farm is good and follows on nicely from Exit Wounds. After he chins a scumbag senator, Orin Boyd finds himself doing time in a luxurious 'prison' for cops who have gone wrong. While there he has to investigate the apparent suicide of a police chief's son and finds himself embroiled in something far deeper. It's good and I recommend it.
TDWoj - that's kinda sad that your budget can't stretch to a second hand copy. You need a loan?!
Check this out - I found 63 new and used copies on Amazon - the first copy is on sale for $0.20(!) - does your budget stretch that far?!
Take it easy.

Pitiful, ain't it? It's not the cost of the book, it's the delivery charge!

This end-of-July/August slump gets me every year, and no matter what I do to prevent, I always come up short of cash. And then I get flooded with work in September. It never fails.
I found a copy of Exit Wounds in my local second hand book store, and got it for practically nothing since I traded in a few tomes gleaned from my already full-to-overflowing shelves (I sometimes forget I've bought a book and end up buying a dupe, but I think that well's pretty much run dry). I'm sure if I found the one, I'll eventually find the other.
The Honor Farm sounds pretty good. I liked the character of Orin Boyd in Exit Wounds, although from time to time I just wanted to strangle him. I wonder if John Westermann is planning to write a third with Orin Boyd? (Or does something bad happen to Orin in The Honor Farm?)
