Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I was a rookie police officer in Colorado Springs in 1973 when I was dispatched to the White Spot restaurant on a call of a cop being attacked. I had to help save the cop's life, and my reputation as a head-banging street cop was made. #2 I was once dispatched to a bar to break up a fight, and found a giant Native American fighter throwing people around like rag dolls. I brought him down, but we paid for it. My shit magnet reputation spread beyond the police department and into the community at large. #3 The West Side of Colorado Springs was not the new and shiny part of the city. It was a hot zone, with more bars than churches. It was a rough neighborhood, with residents born there and dying there. Most residents abandoned hope before it abandoned them. #4 I was assigned to the West Side of Colorado Springs, where I arrived to find a chaotic scene of men and women fighting each other at a local mortuary. I arrested the man responsible for the casket assault.
