Product Description

Michael Egbert spent 22 months with an undercover unit somewhere in Colorado where he dealt with an unbelievable array of career criminals. From spending the night in jail with a murderer to posing as an infamous underworld figure, Michael Egbert has a story to tell, a story that will keep you turning the pages, and wanting to read more. This book will give you a whole new appreciation for the brave men and women who protect and serve.

Award-winning author, Joan R. Neubauer, has marshaled her skills as a writer to bring Michael Egbert's story alive and let you live it with him. Sensitive yet gritty, readers will find S.C.A.T. to be a book they cannot put down, and one they will recommend to others.



About the Author

About Michael Egbert Michael Egbert first ventured into law enforcement courtesy the United States Navy when he was temporarily assigned to the Armed Forces Police detachment on Guam shortly before his discharge from military service. He was forever changed. Michael joined the Arapahoe County Sheriff Department as a jailer in 1973 and quickly transferred to patrol. He attended the state training academy in Golden, Colorado and achieving certification in November 1974. His law enforcement career accelerated when he was hand picked to join the Special Crime Attack Team then promoted to the rank of Sergeant in December 1977. Michael furthered his career by joining the Houston Police Department in April 1981 and obtaining Texas State certification and currently holds the highest certification, that of Master Peace Officer. For a short while, Michael was assigned to the HPD Helicopter Patrol where he gained more than 700 hours of flight time as an observer in 1985. Michael received media attention for an assignment he worked from 1989 through 1991 where he was credited with over 4000 arrests during that two-year period. In 1997 Michael represented the Houston Police Department as a member of the International Police Task Force in Bosnia. He owes his success to a long, varied and rewarding career as a law enforcement officer to the Grace of God, for which he is eternally grateful. About Joan R. Neubauer Joan R.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book About Law Enforcement, January 22, 2002
By William L. Scott (Manvel, Texas) - See all my reviews
I'm not much of a fan of traditional cops and robber stories but this book presents an entirely different view of police work. This is honest, real life police work and it is more exciting and stimulating than any work of fiction. The characters in it are real and you can't ignore the impact they make as they march across the pages of the book. The criminal element presented in the stories is not at all like those you meet in traditional detective stories. The workaday law enforcement officers you encounter are intelligent, brave, hard working people who deserve our greatest respect. As you read the book you will note that they don't always come away unscathed. I highly recommend this book to one and all. You will be entertained by it but you will also come away with a deep sense of awe for those who protect and serve. At times you will laugh and at other times you will cry. As I read the book I kept finding myself saying "Mike don't do that it's crazy".

5.0 out of 5 stars S.C.A.T grabbed a hold of me and didn't let me go....., January 23, 2008
Michael introduces us to his fellow team members and catapults inside the world of undercover police work. From high speed chases, to the ghetto, and inside the world of an outlaw motorcycle gangs we experience it all as if we were really there, yet the author remains humble and honest throughout the novel. We obviously never know who we are passing on the street or in the airport, an undercover police officer or someone else? I too appreciated that each chapter brought closure to the assignment, ending with the bad guys going off to jail and justice served. Once you start reading this book you just won't be able to stop. Please keep writing for us Michael.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful and insightful!, December 5, 2002
By Anna (Grand Blanc, MI) - See all my reviews
I thoroughly enjoyed reading and becoming envolved in this novel! I laughed, cryed and sat on the edge of my seat, not sure how the story would end sometimes! I would cheer when the S.C.A.T. team would triumph!! The story line flowed along and kept you not wanting to close the book for the evening. I highly recommend this book to all law enforement fans and non-fans alike...you will get hooked and it leaves you wanting to read more! I have a higher respect for all law enforement personnel and the jobs that they do and how they risk their lives everyday to keep our land free.
