It eloquently tells the story of a son’s relationship with his father, the fire chief and a local hero, and his grandfather, a serial arsonist. When Jay Varner, fresh out of college, returns home to work for the local newspaper, he knows that he will have to deal with the memories of a childhood haunted by a grandfather who was both menacing and comical and by a father who died too young and who never managed to be the father Jay so desperately needed him to be. In digging into the past, he uncovers layers of secrets, lies, and half-truths. It is only when he finally has the truth in hand that he comes to an understanding of the forces that drove his father, and of the fires that for all his efforts his father could never extinguish.

Book excerpt: "The sharp, hardboiled prose you would expect from a detective novelist... Smith shares vivid details, hard-earned insights, and stories of courage and terror, told with crisp, raw dialogue, a feeling for the drama of potentially violent confrontations, and an undercurrent of despair, despite many heartfelt tributes to cops he trusted and the mentor whose murder he had to look into." - BookLife Review He landed his dream job pursuing the guilty, but two decades of horrific violence and a steady stream of death left him scarred... From the streets of South Los Angeles to the elite homicide bureau, former sheriff's detective Danny R. Smith saw some of L.A.'s darkest hours: a crack cocaine epidemic, unprecedented gang warfare, a spike in homicides that stunned the nation, the Rodney King riots. A beating left him unconscious. Only the miraculous malfunction of a killer's automatic weapon saved his life. But it was the hundreds of deaths and innumerable tragedies-murdered colleagues, dead kids, a Native American burned alive by skinheads-that took the greatest toll. In this no-holds-barred memoir, Smith offers a rare, unfiltered view of a career in law enforcement, and reveals his unique insights into battling PTSD and being forced to leave the profession he loved. Nothing Left to Prove is shocking, riveting, and poignant-remarkably honest. It's the very personal story of one man's career and its effect on his life, unveiled through Smith's masterful storytelling.

This author pulls no punches as he lays bare the violence and horrific atrocities that took place during his career."- Heather Wamboldt "I was at times, shocked, appalled and repulsed by what one human being could do to another human being. I was also amazed, appreciative and extremely respectful of those who serve so resolutely to protect others." - Michele Carey "This is an outstanding, exciting, and superbly readable account from a man who lived it all. Poignant, gut-wrenching, and, at times, amusing, this is definitely an unputdownable narrative." - Michele Kapugi "A riveting law enforcement memoir." - Bud Johnson "The ultimate walk-a-mile-in-my-shoes autobiography." - Moon Mullen "Takes you through the life of a true and dedicated street cop. Fascinating read!" - Kay Reeves

Book excerpt: "It was late at night when I finally arrived at a small home in mainland China. Many Chinese Christians had gathered to pray and worship in this secret house church. I was excited to preach and encourage them, but also exhausted from the long travel. Suddenly, I heard a voice cry out, "Teacher Barnabas, we have to run!" I looked toward the front door as three secret police officers forced it open and stormed in, just a few meters away from me.We ran. No time to grab anything. Not even shoes. I ran barefoot. I raced into total darkness. I didn't know where I was, and I couldn't see anything around me. I could hear the footsteps of the secret police behind me, so I ran even faster. But I wasn't scared. When I decided to serve the house churches in China, I knew someday this would happen. I just didn't expect it so soon." How does faith flourish in the midst of persecution?
