About the author

Larry Watts resides on the Gulf Coast of Texas. As he describes on his blog site larrywatts1@wordpress.com, "I try to reinvent myself about every 20 years. From country boy, to big city cop, to labor negotiator, and now an emerging author."

Watts puts his vast experience from all his professional identities to use in writing novels about social justice and crime. As Rick Bradstreet, former Director of Psychological Services for the Austin, Texas Police Department says,

"Your descriptions of the details of investigations and the details of prison life were very enlightening. I have never seen that level of 'here's how it really works', before. That alone is a big contribution to the literature.

I also appreciated your characters, and how their private agendas, burn out, idealism, etc. impacted the case. This is rarely discussed in police depts. Your last chapter is a good model for all Cadet training and In Service training."
