A violent robber is loose in River City. Meet the cops that must take him down.
Stefan Kopriva, a young hotshot. Katie MacLeod, a woman in what is still mostly a man’s world. Karl Winter, about to retire but with one more good bust left in him. And Thomas Chisolm, a former Green Beret who knows how dangerous a man like the Scarface Robber can be.
These are the patrol officers of River City — … of River City — that mythical thin blue line between society and anarchy. They must stop the robber, all the while juggling divorces, love affairs, internal politics, a hostile media, vengeful gang members and a civilian population that isn’t always understanding or even grateful.
Written by a real cop with real experience, Under a Raging Moon is like a paperback ride-along. Enjoy the ride.

About as realistic as you can get…without the blood running off the pages.
I thought the book was great. I really liked the characters and thought the author did a good job of going to the different storylines and then bringing them together at the end. It’s informative, realistic, fascinating and I really enjoyed reading this book. The author spent 20 years as a police officer, so he knows the subject matter …
A police story and a great one. It had action, tragic deaths, and even a bit of romance. I was sorry when it ended. Well written and a true page turner.
A must read for all police recruits
Super story. Really makes us thankful for our law enforcing people.
