{"product_id":"2940150212695","title":"Tales from the Blue","description":"This book is a collection of stories that emerged over several years during which the authors met and became friends over numerous cups of coffee after exercising at a YMCA in Pennsylvania. Their collaboration started with a novel based on a true incident, published as Guilty but Innocent, and has continued ever since. This book tries to bring to light the humor, the difficulty and sometimes the pathos of a cop’s life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFairy Tales traditionally start with “Once upon a time” whereas just about all police stories begin with “And this is no sh*t….”, and this compilation of stories of a cop’s life in the City of Baltimore is no sh*t! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach story is true although, necessarily, names have been changed, as they say, to protect the innocent. Some of these stories and anecdotes are humorous, some are weird, many are sad and not a few are tragic but they are typical of what virtually every police officer throughout the world experiences on an almost daily basis. People are strange and what they do is often stranger still.","brand":"Post Hill Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079988330736,"sku":"2940150212695","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150212695_p0.jpg?v=1763740557","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150212695","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
