"The most absobring cop memoir you will read this year--maybe ever." - TJ English, NY Times Bestselling author (Havana Nocturne, The Westies).
Retired Homicide Detective Ramesh Nyberg describes in rich detail his remarkable journey growing up in Miami as the child of an Indian school teacher and Swedish boat-builder. Nyberg considers Miami his only real sibling, and weaves jarring stories of murder and cocaine smugglers into poignant memories of his childhood and life lessons he learned sailing the waters of south Florida.
Ramesh spares no details as he brings the reader into crime scenes and the horrors of real violence, while also conveying the ironies and often humorous aspects of law enforcement. This book is filled with riveting stories, bizarre and often dangerous pursuits of violent offenders, heart-wrenching scenes of grieving families, and gripping behind-the-scenes descriptions of suspects' confessions.
The book flashes back frequently to pivotal moments of Ramesh's childhood that luminesce later in his life as guiding lessons in his career as a law enforcement officer. This is unlike any police memoir in existence; it is brutal, honest, and revealing, highlighting a colorful--and violent--time in Miami's history that will likely never occur again.
