Policing today is challenging and different from any other time in our history. Men and women who have worn the badge have a unique perspective on those challenges. This collection features a diverse roster of former law enforcement officers turned crime fiction authors... diverse in every sense of the word — age, gender, race, nationality, geography, type of agency, size of department, role within law enforcement, and political beliefs. The one thing they all have in common is a desire to share a single slice of the contemporary policing experience with you, and to join the ongoing, larger conversation in the best way they know how — by telling a compelling crime story.
