I really enjoyed this book!!! It is refreshing to see a book written by the REAL person who was involved with the content of the book. This book gives a true account of life and law enforcement in the 50's and 60's. I highly recommend it!!!

This acknowledgement of BHPD at it's finest is all about true life crime without the hype, sex, and sleaze that you will find in many crime novels today. Without the "men in blue" that we had in the '50's/60, we would not have the charactor today that we have to deal with the present and future problems of youth, morality, sex, and violence.

This book is very easy to read. The account flows well and naturally. The police/crime events depicted are real life. They are amusing,aggravating, rewarding, sometimes disappointing.The author approaches his subject directly, and is knowledgeable of the actions described. The interface with, and knowledge of, certain TV and Movie celebrities, is a plus. This is a good book.
