He's big and brash. His beat is the underbelly of Los  Angeles vice--a world of pimps, pushers, winos,  whores and killers. He lives each day his way--on the  razor's edge of life. He was a damn good cop and  LAPD detective. For fifteen years he prowled the  streets, solved murders, took his lumps. Now he's  the hard hitting, tough talking best selling writer  who tells the brutal, true stories of the men who  risk their loves every time a siren  screams.
