Diary In Blue: from reporter to cop

He’s been in shootouts and riots and even executed a search warrant for a stolen live snake. Steve Cartwright was a newspaper reporter who liked writing about ghosts and other weird stuff.Covering cops, he was pulled into their world of adrenaline, violence, and, eventually, compassion for society’s underdogs and victims. In his book you’re in the Atlanta PD squad car as his experiences make him earn his badge. He is the Homicide detective who first responded to the infamous “bleeding house”. He was underneath the terrorist’s bomb that exploded at the Olympics. Your eyes will blink from the flashing blue lights in this book; your nose will burn from the smell of gunpowder. Caution: this book contains rough, “street talk” the way it really happened.
