Description

Here are thirty-four adrenaline-infused stories of police putting their lives on the line in pursuit of justice. These compelling true accounts of cops seconds from death will appeal to a large cross section of readers of adventure and crime stories: An Ohio state trooper shot by a crazed hitchhiker; a Pennsylvania policeman assaulted by an angry professor; a Maine cop attacked by a pedophile who's picture appeared on America's Most Wanted; and a North Dakota cop shot by a perp who was the show more subject of a nationwide manhunt, among many others. show less
