Puncher Pie and Cowboy Lies

The stories in this book are just the way they should have happened maybe not tue, but close enough for any cowboy worth his seat at the campfire.

The one and only time Billy the Kid made the front page of the New York Times was when Cold West detective Steve Sederwall re-opened the century old cold case of two deputies murdered by the notorious outlaw when he escaped from the Lincoln County Jail. Now , for the first time, Steve tells the story of his investigation in detail.Excerpt"The Little Rat-Bastard", was pretty much the kindest description I could muster for Billy the Kid. I saw him as little more than saddle trash, on the opposite side of everything for which I've ever stood and as a result, I had no use for this buck-toothed derelict. I've worn a badge my entire adult life, I bleed blue, and admittedly it's from that perspective I had formed my opinion. As a result, I had no problem with Pat Garrett voiding this scumbag's birth certificate. Well, that is until I saw the "dirty". Everyone has a secret they hope will remain hidden; cops call that "the dirty". It's not until you see the dirty do you understand the entire truth. When secrets are hidden, there's someone who doesn't want the truth known.Cops understand the truth cannot be reached until you see the raw evidence and facts void of the spin. You'll overlook the dirty if you're unable to pick up the "tells". Those signs, always present, pointing to the evidence, which, if followed, will drop you off at the doorstep of truth.In a criminal investigation, you may find evidence pointing to guilt, or uncover evidence clearing the suspect; in legal jargon, the evidence in the suspect's favor is called exculpatory. The state is bound by law to disclose exculpatory evidence; however, the same does not apply to history.

POLICE PROCEDURAL FICTION BY STEVEN M. SEDERWALLThe Passing of Fat Jack offers a peek into the humor entrenched in the most serious business of real police work. Author Steve Sederwall, former LAPD, retired Federal Criminal Investigator, and active-smartass, will launch you from your Lazyboy into the mid-90s to experience firsthand what it was like to wear the Blue. It was a time when the Blue Street Sharks patrolled the city of Angels with one job, protect the incent. It was also a time when you could safely ask a hot new female rookie out on a date without the fear of mopping the floor with your clean pressed uniform while doing the "electric chicken", as you rode the lightning bolt of her taser. It was before it became fashionable to have your feelings affixed to their sleeve. If you're a cop, were ever a cop, want to be a cop, married to a cop, or know the words to the pledge of allegiance, you're guaranteed to love this book and enjoy your time in a Black and White. From the occasional crossdressing assault victim to the adminis-trivia of the daily roll call, you'll enjoy this throwback to the days when cops lived for the chase but dreading the paperwork that came on its heels. The story is told with no holds barred accuracy, placed in 1994, before words politically and correct were shacking up together. This is a heartwarming story of camaraderie, loyalty, teamwork, love, brotherhood, loss, and drunks, all tempered, as in real life, by ex-wives. There's a saying at the LAPD: The first day on the job, you're issued a big bowl of marbles. Every time you allowed something to touch your soul, a marble gets taken away. When you've lost all your marbles, it's time to retire. Many of the characters you're about to meet have lost their marbles.
