The Tattered Blue Line

Policing today is challenging and different from any other time in our history. Men and women who have worn the badge have a unique perspective on those challenges. This collection features a diverse roster of former law enforcement officers turned crime fiction authors... diverse in every sense of the word -- age, gender, race, nationality, geography, type of agency, size of department, role within law enforcement, and political beliefs. The one thing they all have in common is a desire to share a single slice of the contemporary policing experience with you, and to join the ongoing, larger conversation in the best way they know how -- by telling a compelling crime story.

Note: Contains the 2022 PSWA Award-winning story (first place) "One Fine Day," and the 2023 PSWA Award-winning stories "Officer Safety" and "Convict Code."

Note: The Tattered Blue Line was selected by the Independent Fiction Alliance as one of the best "truly independent" titles of 2022!
