About the Author

Thirty-five years of big city police work has given this author an up-front and hands on experience with all segments of criminal activity. As a lieutenant on the Miami-Dade Police Department, he was involved in the investigation of hundreds of crimes, complicated by the ethenic diversity of Miami and taking him to all corners of the United States and Puerto Rico. Motivated by his disenchantment with the criminal justice system and his compassion for the victims of homicide, armed robbery, narcotics, organized crime and sexual battery, he felt compelled to write this novel. Educated at Virginia Tech and Florida International university, he holds a B.S. degree in criminology. Now retired, he resides in Florida and North Carolina.

5.0 out of 5 stars truth covered in fiction, December 29, 2006

By	L. E. Herron (pompano beach, fl USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Hard truth-factual stories evolved into fiction. True to life characters that find their way into your life. The book can be cynical, sarcastic and very intriquing. Weak judges, over burdened prosecutors, weak sentences leading to more violent crimes adds fuel to violent action. A fast paced exciting, exotic and violent novel with plenty of funny and moving moments. Quick witted, snappy and sarcastic dialogue keeps the reader on edge, waiting for the hammer to fall and it does. Amazing book by a first time author. The author is not afraid to tell the truth. A must read-truly enjoyable

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read, September 14, 2007

By	Barry Johnson (Niceville, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If the New York Times does not want to be remiss in their selection of favored books, they should recognize a new comer by the name of Richard Calvert and his recent writing of "Virtual Justice". As a former police lieutenant, now retired, he has favored us with a book so compelling and suspenseful that the best selling novelists will be looking over their shoulders. I cannot wait for Book Number Two.

4.0 out of 5 stars Virtual Justice, September 26, 2007

By	Harry Wendler (Citrus County, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Virtual Justice is a book that will hold your interest from the opening pages where a young officer is shot to the final pages with a visit to O'Steens in Saint Augustine. Two things you must do, read the book and eat shrimp at O'Steens. Both are worth while pursuits. I worked with Dick and he knows police work and the criminal injustice system. That knowledge is translated into a great piece of fiction.
