More Cop Fiction

Police-Writers.com, a website dedicated to listing state and local police officers who have authored books added three cops who have written works of fiction, Harold Lloyd, Barry Mason and Gary Lovett.

Lieutenant Harold K. Lloyd, Philadelphia Police Department, is the commanding officer of the undercover narcotics operations in four Philadelphia Police Department districts. Lieutenant Harold Lloyd has overseen the takedown of five violent drug organizations and is a distinguished graduate of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s prestigious Drug Unit Commanders Academy. In May 2001 the Citizen’s Crime Commission of the Delaware Valley awarded Lieutenant Harold K. Lloyd’s group a Unit Citation for their efforts in dismantling a vicious heroin ring operating out of North Philadelphia.

With Crooked Timber, his first novel, Lloyd draws upon his vast experience to “deliver a hard boiled crime story where the line that separates good and evil is virtually nonexistent.”

Barry Mason is a detective with the Cobb County Police Department (Georgia). He has a BA in commercial art and psychology and has worked in law enforcement for over ten years; first as a crime scene technician, then a police officer, and finally a detective. He is the author of two books – Maroon and Killswitch. Maroon is “a story that follows a police recruit who tries to solve everything his complicated new job has to offer while a veteran homicide detective struggles on the edge of self destruction. Of course, there is the young and beautiful high school art teacher who begins a new life in a new town. They have nothing in common until the madman called The Machine pulls them into his world of carnage and delusional fantasy. You watch the story unfold through the eyes of the characters and through the killer's eyes as he labors to make the world into what he has envisioned for it.”

Barry Mason’s second book is Killswitch. According to the book description, “imagine routinely answering your telephone, turning on your T.V., radio or computer and something different happens this time. You hear a series of digital tones and your inhibitions are instantly gone. You are a law abiding and honest person - but now a human monster driven by self-indulgence, sexual depravity and unbridled violence. You've just experienced Killswitch.”

Gary C. Lovett is a retired homicide investigator for the Atlanta Police Department. He is the author of Season of Death. According to the book description, “The holiday season has just begun and, Detective Robert Sweet Owens a street smart Atlanta homicide investigator has become involved in the murder investigation of a popular member of Atlanta's clergy. The death is related to a series of other murders and members of the police department. When Sweet Owens' mother's life is threatened by the investigation, he has to scramble to solve the case and save her life.”
