The author, a veteran police officer and training instructor, explores cases of police fatalities to determine the most common contributory procedural errors. Brooks calls these 'the deadly errors'. They are failure to maintain proficiency and care of equipment, improper search and use of handcuffs, failure to position oneself properly, and failure to watch suspects' hands. Failure to remain alert and awake, failure to wait for assistance, and preoccupation and apathy are also common dangers.

My name is Alexis Hembree, and I’m a cop. My partner and I are good at our jobs, except we don’t tend to work what others would call a “normal” beat. For some reason we draw evil to us like flies to sugar. Sometimes there are things in this world we can’t explain or anticipate. But when they cross that line between their existence and ours, when they show up, we have to deal with them as best we can. Some cops fight criminals. We fight something that never should have existed.

In Los Angeles, nothing ever "just happens." The underbelly of the city works at a methodical pace, and any one action can spiral into a tornado powerful enough to tear up the city. A prisoner transport bus is ambushed in the pre-dawn hours, and all fifty-four maximum-security inmates escape. The city's best detectives begin sifting through the sea of decoys to find the target of the attack - but as law enforcement spins its wheels, the eight men behind the heist get further away from the crime scene. As the investigators dig for clues, one thing becomes clear: this was not merely a group of criminals breaking a partner out of jail. This was an act of pure desperation.

After becoming permanently disabled from a horrific act of violence perpetrated by an amateur assassin, police Captain Greg Strong was forced into early retirement. The motive for the attempt on his life was never determined. The captain, along with his wife, Maggie, moved from Miami Beach to the Blue Ridge Mountains where they hoped to live out the remainder of their lives in peace. But this was not to be. A strange set of disruptive circumstances sent them on a mission of deception and intrigue. Not only is Deceived a graphic and gritty work of fiction, it is also riddled with the experiences of the author, Major Fred Wooldridge, who spent 28 years with the Miami Beach Police Department. Only a veteran police officer with so much street experience could write such a book and tell of such events. The characters and events in this book are fictitious. Any similarity to real persons, living or dead, is coincidental and not intended by the author. Sit back, take a deep breath and prepare to be entertained and deceived. Fred Wooldridge is also author of, Im Moving Back to Mars.
