Another 8 colleagues (all American) join The Squad today, bringing its numbers to 381.

That's 381 cops and ex-cops (and other law enforcement types, plus some PIs) who have taken to writing crime fiction. You won't get more realistic crime tales than those from this Squad!

6. Dillard H. Hughes who served with the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department in Georgia.
7. Louis Jackson who served with the LAPD.
8. Steven H. Richardson who served with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office in Florida.

Our Squad now consists of:

248 American, 67 British, 18 Australian, 18 Canadian
4 New Zealander, 3 Finnish, 3 French, 2 Dutch, 2 Swedish,
2 Irish, 1 Bahamian, 1 Norwegian
1 Italian, 1 Czech, 1 Russian, 1 Hungarian
1 Spaniard, 1 Pakistani, 1 Chinese, 1 Brazilian, 1 Indian, 1 Danish

And please remember, my list is only for CRIME FICTION - not all the true crime and/or memoir writing by cops and ex-cops that's out there (as good as so much of that is).
