I have read other great stories by Michael Berish and it was a treat to read this book. This is not just another cops & robbers book; rather, this book, REFLECTIONS FROM THE PIT, is a great collection of the most unusual, weirdest stories about both the cops in Miami and the characters & criminals they meet and deal with on the street.


His uncanny and witty remarks, and his piercing penetrating defiant look at police work and human nature, make reading this book (which is filled with high octane action) an unforgettable adventure. You'll experience a kaleidoscope of emotions that range from the heart-felt to the sublimely incredulous! These stories are truly snapshots into the dark side of police work. It'll an exceptional read and hard to put down, but when you finish, you will say to yourself: "I never knew people like that, including the cops, ever exited."

I found a link to some of his other short stories at the bottom of his Home Page on his website at: [...]

"Reflections from the Pit" was awarded BEST FICTION NOVEL (2nd Place) published in 2008 by the Public Safety Writers Association.

Judge's comments on book: "This is an intriguing book with many fascinating stories that certainly reveal a side of police work that's seldom written about or shown on television. The author has a unique voice with a spark of humor that keeps the reader turning the pages. The characters were three-dimensional and intriguing to read about--police and criminals. All the dialogue was crisp and realistic. For anyone wanting to know the nitty-gritty and often dark side of police work, this is the book to read..."



"That fellow (Berish) has a real talent for writing a story. That's excellent work."

Reflections from the Pit

Most people are sheltered from what happens in the experiences of this dedicated cop. I was surprised and intrigued by the stories in this book. We often forget what police do to protect and serve. Must read to experience what life is all about in "the pit."
