Description

The critically acclaimed memoirs of one female police officer’s sixteen-year odyssey, beginning with day one at the Police Academy and spanning assignments on Chicago’s West Side, probably the most dangerous areas in the city.

The notorious cops’ code of silence is broken as the writer recounts incidents in the West Side projects: shoot-outs, ambushes, and what it feels like to kill a man―just four days out of the Academy.

The stories told are every now and then tragic, every now and then funny, steadily poignant, and all the time give you the reader with an on the scene feel for life at the back of the badge. Domestic violence, murdered spouses, abused children, and philandering CPD brass are just one of the crucial topics addressed, topics that officer Gallo dealt with on a regular basis.

From her work with gangs, narcotics, the gun task force, and acting as a prostitute, Gina Gallo offers a gritty account of the darker side of the city, giving readers an objective side to the cops, crooks, and sufferers that comprise a the police cops world.
