Rudolph: Battlegrounds Heavy Spoilers
Conspiracy Theorist:
No body, the witness was Harry. I suspect Rudy will get medical retirement, and Bradley go to SI, as tragically Rawlings has subsequently died from cliche poisoning opening up a space.
Psyklone:
Sadly,
I'm not sure anything will happen. It would be best if he were not even mentioned, and the character thrown into the bin. As it stands, the only living witness to actually see how Murphy died is Harry. Harry, who was going to have a warrant put out on him. If Rudolph and whomever has been pulling his strings stir the pot, Harry would be put under the microscope again. It would be easier for the story if Rudolph was now background, because if we keep focusing on him, Jim would have a tough time actually focusing on the enemies he needs to deal with to wrap things up.
Sigh, Murphy being killed was kinda like a bomb going off in my head... I hadn't expected her to live per se, because she was aging and getting hammered each book, so there was no way she could realistically participate in the BAT. I had hoped she would be sidelined as support, or go out well. This just kinda leaves a rotten taste in my mouth, but that could just be my love/hope for the character...
Poten26:
I have to admit, I get why she died, but I was really hoping she wouldn't. Such a great character
Jim made quite a big point about him getting justice instead of revenge, I just wondering is this another area to send Harry towards a darker path if he gets off.

I could sort of see Rudy showing back up in a future book, only as a broken, failed no one who has self-destructed hard after this. Butters knows the truth (even if he didn't see it) and he's still well thought of by the CPD so all he has to do is (accidentally, since he's a Knight now) reveal what happened to a single cop and Rudy's immediately becomes (even more) persona non grata. Or Rudy could just self-destruct due to guilt and his brief return could be a "Redemption Equals Death" moment...
But overall, I do think this is the last we've see of him...
wardenferry419:
No, we need to see Rudy one more time. Either as a passing glance from Harry at the dead loser in an alley or if Harry should happened to be going a hospital's Psych Ward. That is the much needed closure.
