Chief Stone's debut to the world of crime literature is not only well-timed but well-written. The Chief's tale shows you a comprehensive, though never exhausting, struggle between the people who know what needs to be done and the people who all-too-often keep them from doing it. Precisely written, the book does not fail to communicate the joys of the job- in addition to the unfortunate frustration and exhaustion felt by Chief Starr. Do people like Mel Michaels really exist?

As a employee of municipal government I have finally found a book that relates the true trials of public life and the politics of public service from the inside. This book was a joy to read and I found it difficult to put down once I had stared the first chapter. I only hope readers will develop a true appreciation of how non-fiction the incidents and events in this book appear to be. It appears all of the events were based on true incidents and only the names were changed to protect the guilty and innocent.

Five Star Rating...If you enjoy police drama..intrigue..suspense to the very end....buy it!! Chief Rick Stone tells it like it is...even though it fiction...it makes you question if it is.

Rick Stone's new book kept me on the edge of my seat. I especially enjoyed the behind-the-scenes details of professional police work. I admire those special relationships that exist among the cops on the street which are at the core of this scintillating novel.

This is one of the best and most humorous books about the antics of police work I have ever read. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
