Detective Fey Croaker of the West Los Angeles police division is under pressure to crack a murder case - the case of a woman, violently murdered, who made a career of acquiring names, rich husbands, and a great deal of money when they conveniently died.
A prolific writer, Paul Bishop is also a thirty-five year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, where he has twice been honored as Detective of the Year.
Aside from his numerous novels, Paul has written scripts for episodic television and feature films. As a nationally recognized interrogator, he co-starred on the hit ABC reality series Take The Money And Run.
His interview and interrogation seminar, Dancing With Pinocchio, is regularly scheduled by law enforcement, military, human resource, and legal organizations. Paul is also sought out as deception consultant, a motivational speaker, and writing teacher.
The Los Angeles Times has called Paul 'the closest equivalent of Joe Wambaugh yet,' and stated Hot Pursuit 'could hardly be better.' The New York Times proclaimed him a 'first-class writer,' and called Deep Water a 'lively, bloody adventure.' Publishers' Weekly cited Croaker: Kill Me Again, as 'gripping, intense, labyrinthine, complex, and compelling.' And author Dominick Dunne declared Croaker: Grave Sins to be a 'tough, taut, terrific tale!'
Paul's new novel, Fight Card: Felony Fists (written as Jack Tunney), has just been released. He can be found blogging at www.bishsbeat.blogspot.com/ and followed via twitter@bishsbeat.
