GOTCHA! is an account of the adventures of Joseph Laney, a longtime professional fugitive recovery agent—i.e., a bounty hunter—and martial arts instructor. When tracking and apprehending bail jumpers—from common street thugs to la crème de la scum— Joseph Laney uses his martial-arts–trained hands and feet, conventional weapons whenever necessary, and most of all, his mind, to wend his way through the risky business at hand. With CSI-like attention to detail, GOTCHA! shows the reader not just what Laney does in his pursuit of scofflaws, but how and why he does it, and even why—sometimes —he doesn’t. An intriguing mix of true crime and law enforcement narrative, musings on the philosophy of martial arts and the meaning of life, and the reflections of a decent man keeping his compass through situations and places where decency seems irrelevant, GOTCHA! is a fascinating, often humorous, look at the gritty reality of crime and the courts—and the people working both sides of the law.
