This book is so gripping, you won’t be able to put it down. The early chapters give a look into Sheriff Alex Villanueva's past, showing what really shaped his character and determination. He demonstrated great courage in pushing for reform, even in the face of a corrupt Board of Supervisors. He's a strong man who was attacked by many shady polltiians and a highly biased media, but he fights for what is right.
