edit data

Vic Ferrari is a retired twenty-year veteran of the
New York City police department. A Bronx resident for over 40 years he now splits his time between sunny Florida and his timeshare in North Korea. He lives with his Irish Wolfhound puppy Dougal who follows him everywhere, including the bathroom. He enjoys writing, cooking, and managing a coed softball team filled with unhappy complaining miscreants. This summer he fulfilled his childhood dream of throwing out the first pitch of a minor league baseball game under an assumed name.
