DESCRIPTION:
The Most Dangerous Police Book Ever Written…
After Frank O’Ryan gets shot, his first assignment is working with the most disliked man in his police department, Detective Vic Ajax. Ajax isn’t like the other cops. He doesn’t like them and they don’t like him. He hunts drug dealers and pedophiles.
Now, Frank will enter a world where being real police means laying so much of your soul on the line, you might not make it out. But as Vic explains, if it keeps a little girl from having to testify about what some monster did to her, it’s worth it.
Together, they’ll resort to any means necessary to take down the scumbags, even if it means employing the interrogative services of a man in a six-foot bunny costume called The Truth Rabbit.
Readers the world over have called Superbia’s author the 21st Century Ed McBain novel and the successor to Joseph Wambaugh. Both a best-selling author and career police officer, Bernard Schaffer’s experience in patrol, narcotics, and investigations has filled the pages with a degree of accuracy and bold, raw, truth that cannot be found in any other work of literature. Often compared to The Wire, the Superbia books have been called the “Most subversive” account of law enforcement since Serpico.

Four Seconds: A Memoir by Jean Knight Pace

DESCRIPTION:
“I’m not going to try it,” I said.
“You’ll like it,” she argued.
“I know I’ll like it,” I said. “That’s why I’m not going to try it.”
“Try it just this once and I’ll never ask you to do it again.”
That was a deal. I slipped back into the driver’s seat while Pat corn-rowed two neat lines of the silky white powder on the back of a plastic cassette tape cover.
Fifteen hundred dollars every month, an abusive boyfriend, a molested child, a lost family, hotels for houses, a ruined leg, a gun to my head, a knife to my butt, a jail cell all my own. Black eyes, bruised days, broken hours.
Looking back, it seems strange what I gave up to get my roommate off my back.
It only took four seconds.

In her debut memoir, Andrade tells of her years with cocaine and crystal methamphetamines–using, then selling–until all she had left of the life she wanted was a chalk outline and a pack of cigarettes. This is the story of her use and recovery, of the people who frustrated and inspired her, of her decision to leave the drug world.
It is the story of her slow, often unsteady walk home.
