A COP'S LIFE: TRUE STORIES FROM THE HEART
BEHIND THE BADGE
20 dramatic, moving, & disturbing true stories from a cop's
20 years on the street. 5.5x8 inches, 256 pgs
"Cops put an impassive face to the world because they have to,
but they all feel things deeply & profoundly, even if it doesn't
show & even if they can't express it." --Excerpt from A Cop's
Life
The 20 stories that comprise A Cop's Life are not
standard issue police stories. Along with shoot-outs, hanging,
drowning, & murders, portraits of young cops who've seen too
little & old cops who've seen too much is uncensored
introspection, chilling confessions of Sutton's near suicide,
complicated moral dilemmas and situations that challenge our
perception of what it means to be a police officer.
An unusually talented & honest writer, Randy Sutton reveals the
secrets of joy, exhiliaration, fear, boredom & profound despair
behind every cop's impassive mask.
