2400 Cop Books

July 28, 2010 (San Dimas, CA) Police-Writers.com is a website that lists state and local police officers who have written books. With the latest release of two novels by Lieutenant Wayne Zurl (ret.), Suffolk County Police Department, the website now lists over 2400 books written by state and local law enforcement officials, from 466 police departments.

During the summer of 2010, Wayne Zurl is donating all the royalties from his book to National Law Enforcement Officer’s National Memorial Fund.

Wayne Zurl is the author of A Labor Day Murder, Bullets Off-Broadway and A Murder in Knoxville.

According to the book description of A Labor Day Murder, “Chief Sam Jenkins learns of an illegal card game and the sale of moonshine at the Iron Skillet restaurant and decides to raid the premises. That looked straight forward until a firearms examiner links a confiscated handgun to an unsolved homicide. Jenkins encounters political corruption, domestic abuse, and a cover-up in his pursuit to solve the murder.”

According to the book description of Bullets Off-Broadway, “Prospect, Tennessee City Councilman Danny Swope had two bad habits. He drank too much and he beat his wife. Throw in an overbearing personality and Police Chief Sam Jenkins isn't surprised when Danny is found shot to death with an 1873 single action revolver. Jenkins' investigation takes him into the world of cowboy action shooters. Two colorful characters who call themselves Clint Southwood and Dakota Lil offer clues that lead Sam to the killer and his own deadly fast draw contest.”

According to the book description of A Murder in Knoxville, “Prospect PD's Chief Sam Jenkins answers a friend's call for a favor and ends up investigating a murder in another jurisdiction. Everything points to domestic violence until Sam finds an important clue and meets an unlikely killer.”

Raymond,
Thanks for posting a notice of my intention to donate royalties to NLEOMF and for some favorable propaganda about my three books.
This is my first venture into blogging; so far painless.
Best,
Wayne
