Editorial Reviews

Review

"As someone who has been around law enforcement all their life,I could appreciate...the 'stories' within the story." -- Lawton G. Taylor, Jr.

Come along while a cop with 25 years under his belt spins a thriller. There were no unacceptable acts... -- The Book Reader Spring/Summer 2000

I admire the plotting, was not expecting the end and am still not sure that these men should have been seen as guilty, but as an ex lawman, Steven knows that obviously there are no grey areas. -- Ms. Pamela Winfield, author, Surrey, England

I will never forget the story. I have never read a police/mystery novel as unique as yours! The "character development" - I initially thought it was too much - but realized that everything was important to the ending. The characters in the story became "real" and "familiar." -- Peter Sidelko, Belleview, Florida

This book represents a police world most patrolmen recognize, the temptations are present, but the majority remain true to their oath. It was a story I found interesting that played itself out to a not so obvious ending. -- Francis O'Laughlin, Former Sheriff, St.John's Co. Florida


Product Description

A police crime novel concerning two young deputies and their efforts to bring justice to a small Florida town. Events twist and turn as bodies are discovered and evidence is assembled, eventually leading to the question, can and do police do that?

Crossing the Chalk Line is a story about men who do the wrong things for the right reasons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crossing the Chalk Line, January 8, 2000
By Christopher Benjaman (Jacksonville, Florida) - See all my reviews
Although I have been reading novels for nearly 30 years now, I have NEVER read one with such suspence and excitement. This murder mystery is a true a 5 Star winner and is one of the best among our time. Usually when i start a novel i relax with it and take a few days to read it. However, with this novel i finished it the same evening without thinking to put it down. An "On the Edge of your Seat Mystery" ! It is obvious when you read this mystery that the author is a brillant one with many ideas. I happened to meet Mr.Steven Richardson at a book signing and can proudly say that he is both a gentleman and a scholar. I recommend anyone and everyone to go out and buy a copy of this book, or at least take the time to look at the authors summary and make your own decision. I guarantee you WILL NOT be wasting your time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crossing the Chalk Line, December 6, 1999
By Anna Flowers, author (Satellite Beach, Florida) - See all my reviews
Great story line! Steve Richardson was a dedicated law enforcement officer who served his community well. His first hand knowledge of police work shines through in his first novel, Crossing the Chalk Line.

4.0 out of 5 stars Crossing the Chalk Line, December 18, 1999
By A Customer
I stayed up until 3AM reading the book - getting page turners disease in the bargain. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
