This book is a tribute to all law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line daily for the public good. This is a thankless job. Police officers are not looking for a pat on the back or any reward for doing their job. They are simply looking for support from the very public they serve. This book takes you from initial training at the academy, through the jail process, and into the mean streets of the city and counties of Southern California. This book even goes further into search-and-rescue missions, extraditions, and the court process. APB: Officer Down Shots Fired is based on actual events in fictional form. Incidents like this occur across the country and even in foreign countries. Our brothers and sisters in law enforcement throughout the world understand each other. No other profession is as challenging as law enforcement. No other profession is as rewarding as law enforcement. There is no greater love than to lay down your life for another (John 15:13).

Russ Reiker was a seasoned street cop in Phoenix, Arizona for 21 years. Two months before his planned retirement he was traumatically injured while on duty. He should not have survived, but he did. Chronicling his career with many extraordinary and remarkable incidents, this story culminates with the intensely personal moments preceding and during his impending death - memories that have, until now, been shared with only a few very special people. Russ Reikers tragic story is closely mirrored throughout by the circumstances leading to the death of one of his closest friends, and fellow officer. During the worst shoot-out in the history of the Phoenix Police Department, he was killed on almost the same date and time of day Russ career would end. Their close friendship is the subject of continual laughs, tears, anger, fear and, at times, outrage, but more often humility and pride. Forever changed by the funeral of his friend, Russ Reiker could never go back to being the cop he was.

Best-selling author of the Bruno Johnson Crime Series "Bruno Johnson believes so passionately in justice that he'll lie, cheat, and steal to achieve it—and he'll pulverize anybody who gets in his way" —Booklist Bruno Johnson, a young and inexperienced L.A. County Deputy Sheriff, is trying to balance his life as the single father of a four-year-old daughter and his responsibilities as a cop in the Violent Crimes Unit. When he and his impetuous partner, Ned Kiefer, are put on loan to the FBI to help out with a "special problem," Bruno finds himself in a real bind. The FBI hands Bruno and Ned a case that the Bureau prefers not to touch—a group of teenage criminals that are being run by a nefarious criminal known as the Darkman. Bruno discovers the identity of the Darkman and is stunned to realize that he is the perpetrator from a lingering unsolved case—a triple homicide that continues to haunt Bruno. The problem is how to stop the juvenile criminals without killing kids, and at the same time, avoid being killed by the kids—or by the Darkman—and keep his reckless partner Ned under control. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly and Robert Crais While all of the novels in the Bruno Johnson Crime Series stand on their own and can be read in any order, the publication sequence is: The Disposables The Replacements The Squandered The Vanquished The Innocents The Reckless The Heartless The Ruthless The Sinister (coming February 2022)
