Sgt. Sean Sticks Larkin of the Tulsa, Oklahoma Police Department is one of them and; in this deeply personal book, he reflects on his own story as well as other officers who have experienced the dark side of being wrongly accused or convicted.

If justice works for one person, Sgt. Larkin writes, it should work for everyone equally. That certainly includes the police officers who work honestly and hard to. keep us all safe. Sgt. Sean Sticks Larkin currently serves as supervisor of the Tulsa Police Department's Crime Gun Unit. For three years, he was a co-host of A & E's hit TV show Live PD and hosted PD Cam, a show that gave viewers a POV look into law enforcement's dangerous and dramatic interactions.

| valerie wolzien biography: Mallets Aforethought Sarah Graves, 2004-03-02 Jacobia “Jake” Tiptree left her high-powered career for a dilapidated fixer-upper and the dream of a quiet existence in the quaint town of Eastport, Maine. But she found that no matter how carefully you remodel your life, murder can take up residence anywhere. It’s Eastport’s most notorious landmark: the old Harlequin House. Named for the disgraced physician Chester Harlequin, it was used as a hideout for gunshot gangsters and their molls during Prohibition’s heyday. Now fixer-upper enthusiast Jake Tiptree and Harlequin’s only living descendant, Ellie White, are refurbishing the mansard-roofed mansion to host the local Historical Society’s upcoming gala. But when stripping down old wallpaper reveals a secret door to a room containing not one but two corpses, Jake and Ellie once again find home repair leading to homicide. One of the bodies is a skeleton dressed in 1920s flapper chic. But the other is that of real-estate mogul Hector Gosling, and in his pocket is a paper bearing the single word “Guilty.” The less-than-scrupulous tycoon has been poisoned, and when it’s learned that the offending substance is the poison that Ellie’s husband George has been using to kill red ants, he is immediately taken into custody. Then it develops that George had recently accused Gosling of a scheme to scam George’s vulnerable old aunt out of her life savings—and George out of his inheritance. With George held for murder, Jake and a pregnant Ellie swing into action. In between Ellie’s Lamaze sessions, baby showers, and CPR classes taught by Jake’s ex-husband Victor, the two amateur sleuths must sift their way through a trail of seemingly contradictory clues. Then another corpse surfaces and suddenly Jake and Ellie realize they must find this killer fast. A clever culprit is not only building an airtight case against Ellie’s husband. He—or she—is planning to nail everyone who stands in the way. |
