Background
Information
After retiring from the NYPD, I worked as a Private Investigator for several years. Then I was offered a chance to work in Bosnia as part of an International Police Task Force (IPTF). I was a Captian in the IPTF and worked as a liaison officer with the United Nations and the various army units assigned as part of a Mult-National Peace keeping force.
After a year of seeing man's inhumanity, and the mass graves from ethnic cleansing, I returned home to my PI work.
Several work related injuries finally took their toll, so now I am an aspiring author. Barracuda is the first of, I hope, many novels.
