Recently retired Detective-Sergeant Steven Lowell-Martin takes readers on an inside tour of a major police department in one of America's most fascinating cities. He shares his 32-year experience within the Seattle Police Department, from day one rookie patrol officer to numerous detective and supervisory assignments. He introduces us to hardened criminals, celebrities, and ordinary people who become extraordinary as a result of their actions. He endears readers to law enforcement officials whom have helped keep the city of Seattle safe for its residents. The officers are, all the while, depicted as very human. Their incomparable personalities will prove very compelling. The author will show his readers a very telling cross-section of what being a "big city cop" is all about. This balanced story will involve the good, the bad, and, indeed, the ugly. Never before disclosed details regarding brutal crimes, inclusive of notorious murders, rapes, et. al., shall be shared. An inside look at the World Trade Organization riots will be provided as well. Even a true-life ghost story will leave a reader scratching their head. Stories of humor will prove to be uplifting. The charm of the down-and-out on the streets will be explored. The inspiration drawn by the innumerable real-life heroes in society also will be enveloped in the author's tales. The ultimate lesson will become abundantly clear at the end-that the cops really are the only group to travel every floor of society, from the Penthouse to the Basement. They guard a president one day and a derelict the next. In truth, we all see that people are all just people... uniquely fascinating stories attached to each.
