Joe Kepper is a lieutenant in the Marlboro County Police Department. After leaving the military as a paratroop Captain, he joined the department starting as a recruit and quickly worked his way up the promotion ladder. As a detective, he solved cases that bedeviled other senior members in the department and quickly gained the reputation as a comer. Bright, hardworking and tenacious, his keen detecting skills and his coolness under fire caught the attention of Deputy Chief Aubrey. Aubrey gave Kepper command of a small investigative task force working on special cases assigned by him. He does not always follow the rules of law and his methods are not always considered above board.

Kepper does not handle relationships well. His personal life is a mess, leading to his wife divorcing him and taking their two children to the Midwest where she works as a lawyer. He sees his children about six weeks out of a year and they are his only extravagance. Although his wife remarried, there is an ongoing rift between them, usually about the children. Tall, physically fit, he could be regarded as handsome. Occasionally, he has been known to become romantically linked while on his cases.
