Another 8 colleagues (all American) join The Squad today, bringing its numbers to 395.

That's 395 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!

5. B.J. Bourg who served with the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office in Louisiana.
6. Jim Smith (James W. Smith) who served with the Memphis PD in Tennessee and with the FBI.
7. Alex J. McDonald who served with the Broward County Sheriff's Office in Florida.
8. John Foxjohn who served with the Houston PD in Texas.

Our Squad now consists of:

262 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).
