2008 CopTales Contest Winner....Days on the Beach

"Filled with authentic cop stories and genuine characters, Days on the Beach is  unflinchingly honest, at times graphic and gruesome, a bit outrageous, but often laugh out loud hilarious. I loved it." --Marilyn Meredith, author of No Sanctuary, Rocky Bluff P.D. crime series.

After thirty-one years of service, John Taylor retired from the Oakland Police Department in 2002 and now makes his home in a small town in Northern California.

 

 

 The city of Oakland, CA is under siege. Two roguish police officers orchestrate a series of zany escapades to cement their reputations as two of the wildest, most irreverent street cops to ever pin on badges. Whether it’s a madcap car chase involving multiple stolen vehicles or an off-duty night on the town with two “working girls,” it is their sacred duty to defy regulations and engage in comical romps through Oakland’s grittiest, meanest streets and still get the job done—on their terms.

There is another, deadly side to the siege. Two dedicated homicide investigators are hunting down a pair of sociopathic brothers, who are cutting a swath of savage rapes and murders through Oakland and surrounding cities. But their frantic search for the heinous killers is stymied until some good, old-fashioned gumshoe detective work leads to a high noon face-off with their quarry.
