On The Job: Short Stories

The highs and lows of cops on the job. The cases that make them, break them, bring them laughs, maybe even love.

Police on the beat, working one-officer shops and seasoned detectives pursue a cunning home intruder, a full-moon prankster, false friends, vengeful partners.

Adrenaline-charged car chases, unsanctioned surveillance, intense interrogation. The impact of a child’s tragic death. The import of unearthing what happened to an infant and her mother. Lives saved and crooks captured.

This gripping collection of Sandi Wallace’s award-winning short fiction—“Busted”, “Silk Versus Sierra” and “Losing Heidi”—along with new and never-before released verse and stories, includes “Impact”, a finalist in the international Cutthroat Rick DeMarinis Short Story Contest.

Sandi Wallace is the winner of the 2015 Davitt Award Readers’ Choice for her debut rural crime thriller and a host of prizes for her short crime fiction. Her work has been praised by serving police officers, authors and critics, including J.M. Peace, Jaye Ford, Vanda Symon, and the Herald Sun.

Reviewer Monique Mulligan describes it as, “Edgy, suspense-laden drama.”

B. Michael Radburn, author of the Taylor Bridges series, says, “Sandi Wallace has mastered rural crime.”
