Book excerpt: Akashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. This volume presents the first nonfiction collection in the series, curated by acclaimed novelists Tim McLoughlin and Thomas Adcock. Brand-new stories by: Robert Leuci, Dennis Hawkins, Tim McLoughlin, Thomas Adcock, Errol Louis, Denise Buffa, Patricia Mulcahy, C.J. Sullivan, Reed Farrel Coleman, Aileen Gallagher, Christopher Musella, Kim Sykes, Robert Knightly, Jess Korman, Constance Casey, and Rosemarie Yu. "There is a difference, as editor, between cheering the literary accomplishment of a fiction writer who has delivered a brilliant story about a serial killer or hit man, and reading the true account, however beautifully written, of a young woman raped, murdered, and forgotten. So this book, though it has its light moments (and thank God for those), is for me the darkest of the Brooklyn Noir series. These pieces remind us that crime is personal. It happens to us and to our neighbors. Sometimes it happens because we do nothing to prevent it. Life does not always offer the moral arc we so desperately crave in fiction. If it did, we'd have no need for myths and fables, religion or miracles . . . "Read this book. Enjoy it. Be horrified by it. Carry it with you always. And the next time you're watching a particularly bizarre and salacious news item on the television set in your neighborhood pub, and the guy on the next stool says, "You can't make this shit up," smack him with it." --Tim McLoughlin, from the introduction

Download or read book A Lighter Shade of Blue written by Scott Baker and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10-04 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of Leland Gregory's best-selling Stupid collections, retired NYPD officer Scott Baker and author Tom Philbin present A Lighter Shade of Blue. With authentic tales of life behind the badge, A Lighter Shade of Blue features hilarious anecdotes as told by the cops on the scene--everything from stupid crooks and bungled crimes to patrol etiquette, station house banter, and mangled English. From a gun-stealing chimpanzee to the good-natured hazing of a new recruit, A Lighter Shade of Blue mixes the hilarious with the downright unbelievable through more than 100 firsthand accounts from police officers across the United States and Canada. In addition, a handy glossary of funny cop lingo apprises readers of why they would much rather have a fat pill (buttered roll) as opposed to a finger wave (rectal exam). Consider A Lighter Shade of Blue as the ultimate ride-along--a sidesplitting collection rife with real stories from the cops who have seen and heard it all, including: * A rookie who is locked in the back of a cop car during his first patrol and driven, windows down, through an automatic car wash. * A gun-stealing chimpanzee. * A college professor attacked by a wild gang of teenage girls who promptly steal his watch.

Download or read book Pig Tales A Narc s Story written by Dale Hoagland and published by Wild Child Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-24 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pig Tales" follows a young man's career from his stint as a Berkeley police officer in the 70s to his time as an undercover narcotic detective in a rural county in California's Central Valley. It examines the war on drugs from a different point of view and explores the personal lives of narcs as well as how cases are really made. The wild adventures of this undercover cop are relayed in humorous, and sometimes moving, stories that bring the cops, crooks, and informants to life during a time when police work was far less regulated. The characters involved on both sides of the law were colorful and sometimes outrageous. While Pig Tales recounts terrifying moments on the job, its style offers an entertaining and irreverent snapshot of what really goes on and isn't often talked about in law enforcement. Readers will come face to face with these rich characters and the life and politics of the law enforcement profession in a way that is seldom done. " "Pig Tails is an insightful perspective into police work and the impact the work has on one's thinking, community, and sense of self." " Officer Scott Allen, Davis Police Department " "Pig Tales is an engaging, entertaining, boisterously funny account of the adventures of a rookie cop as he grows to become a seasoned veteran." " Michael P. Branch, author of Raising Wild and Rants from the Hill " "Pig Tales is without a doubt the best book I've read about the law enforcement profession in my 40 years in the field." " Lt. Jeff Hislop, retired. San Joaquin Sheriff's Department"

This isn’t the city Sabrina so fondly remembers: the place where she spent happy, normal days with her family. Even her memories of her parents aren’t safe. As the sisters Grimm investigate the death of an innocent Everafter, they learn that their mother kept a secret from them that might lead to the heart of that evil organization, the Scarlet Hand.

Download or read book Cops and Characters in the Big Easy written by Gene Fields and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gene Fields spent 35 years of his adult life in law enforcement in the Metro New Orleans area. For 19 years, he served on the New Orleans Police Department beginning in 1961. In 1980, he retired, accepting a Deputy Chief with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. He retired again in 1995. This book chronicles Gene's memoirs, providing a compilation of criminal investigations, unusual incidents, terrorism, and humorous stories involving Gene, his friends and co-workers, and the occassional celebrity. Gene relives dramatic changes within the NOPD. He served the city during a transition period, as veteran officers who joined after WWII and the Korean War, retired, and a new, more ambitious breed, replaced them. Some of these recruits were better educated and more diverse. What you will read in this book is factual and supported by police reports, news clippings, and most importantly, the recollections of those involved in the stories. Some names have been changed to protect the identities and prevent unnecessary embarrassment. Some people may be aggravated or insulted by how they are described in certain cases, but Gene stands by his accounts, and the read is a fascinating one.
