Bad Apple (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781596874381)

Too often, cops are accused of operating outside the law, as seen recently in places like Ferguson, Missouri, Cleveland, Ohio, and New York City. Most such accusations are false, but sometimes there is a bad apple in the bushel...

Meet Officer DJ Appleby, one of Portland's finest. Winner of the Medal of Valor, lead crisis negotiator, ex-SERT team member. But what a difference a day can make. On patrol one day and ruthlessly hunted down the next, DJ, has become Oregon's most notorious bad apple.

Surrounded by his own SWAT team and on the phone with fellow negotiators, DJ still has a trick or two up his sleeve. But when justice is finally served, and he's forced to survive in the last place any cop wants to be, DJ rises to the occasion. When he reaches the top of the food chain, he doles out his own form of justice, and in so doing, finds a chance at a new life few of his peers could ever hope for.
