Book Description

<div><div><b>A COP’S LIFE</b>
is about a midnight call that brings you to a grandmother battered to death in her bed while three punks go running and laughing through the night.

<b>A COP’S LIFE </b>
is about the man in the Ninja outfit who absorbs a full magazine of hollowpoint bullets and still raises his gun to kill you

<b>A COP’S LIFE</b>
is about the honor student, the pride and hope of his family, hanging from a speaker wire, or the baby who dies in your arms, or the people who think you’re a hero—or the devil

In this powerful collection of tales from the frontlines, Las Vegas police sergeant Randy Sutton goes beyond the neon into the dark corners of society, putting us into the driver’s seat of his cruiser and a job that ricochets from moments of sheer terror to coffee-fueled boredom—with stops on the way at every conceivable act of human folly and depravity. With a poet’s touch, and the unflinching realism of a crime scene photograph, A COP’S LIFE is the ultimate depiction of the hardest job there is.

<b>“Brilliantly evokes the tormented inner life of the average cop.”</b>
<b>—<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review)</b>
<b></b>
<b>“A compelling, sometimes wrenching, always insightful read that takes us into the soul of a working cop.”</b>
<b>--</b><b>John Lescroart</b><b>, </b><i><b>New York</b></i><b><i> Times</i></b><b> bestselling author of <i>The Second Chair</i> and <i>The Motive</i></b>

Reader Reviews

I am in school for Criminal Jutice and plan to start Police Academy in a few months. All I know about being a cop is that something is pushing me to do it. I am not fully aware yet of everything I am getting into, but something keeps me from giving up. This my life long dream and passion. After reading this book it gave me so much more courage and wisdom to know that I can make a difference. Most people would fear what Randy has encountered, but I pray to do the same things. I know it will not be easy, but with prayer and faith, anything can happen. This book was very educational to me, and I loved every story. Great job!! *Kerista*
