"Author and law enforcement officer Daniel Silver tells the story of a tattooed punk rocker turned rookie San Francisco policeman, Dougie Cohen. In his first year on the job, the stresses, horrors and frustrations, Dougie encounters take their toll on his patience, health, sanity and love life. Dougie struggles with night terrors, addiction, disease and the loss of his former self to his new police persona. Dougie is on a collision course with the reality of urban law enforcement. He'll either break, or accept the fundamentals of what it means to be a real cop."
A very compelling book by a cop who has lived through most of the experiences in his own career, and those he didn't were written from his fellow officers' experiences. The humor and sarcasm of the author give the book a unique voice. From the men and women he works with, I learned the book is realistic and believable, with the exception that all the adventures within normally do not happen to one cop during his first year, but this is fiction and as such is entertaining, gripping, and enjoyable.
