Twisted But True: Book II - Filling in the Cracks
Retired Phoenix Police Sergeant Darren Burch captivates you on another wild police ride-along with outrageously macabre and compelling stories from his thirty-year career as a rookie cop, sex crime detective, and night detective sergeant in the Phoenix Police Department's Homicide Unit in this gut-clinching, horrific, and oftentimes laugh-out-loud funny follow-up to Darren's award-winning true-crime book, Twisted But True. Darren's dark humor reemerges with a vengeance, starting with death and despair, and then to the hilarious as a rookie cop in "That First Squad," to a case of animal sexual depravity in "Choking the Chicken," and a deadly home invasion beyond belief in "That One Case", which was featured on the ID Channel's American Detective TV series. These thirty true-crime stories mirror the time frame of Twisted But True, but this time, Darren goes even deeper and darker by filling in the cracks.

An entertaining eye-opening read for all citizens! I just finished this in a few hours time.
In this remarkable follow-up book to his original wild stories in Twisted but True, Darren Burch provides another unbelievable look into a cop’s life on the streets of a big city. However, any law enforcement officer can face similar life-changing events as those presented here. In this well-written narration of short stories, the author reveals the internal emotions that our police frequently experience. He has done a fantastic job of mixing humor with the heart-breaking, the mundane with the ever-present lurking danger that leads you through a myriad series of emotions. If you really have an open mind, I recommend everyone read this story for some understanding of a police officer’s life. It is not what you may think. A captivating, fast read. I suggest reading the original story as a first taste, but Twisted but True—Book II—Filling in the Cracks will knock your socks off. Wayne M. Miller, Retired Federal Agent, Author of Burn Boston Burn
