Peril, humour, heartbreak, justice…no two police shifts are the same.

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 pursuing a cunning home intruder, a full-moon prankster, false friends and 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 packs as much punch into her short crime stories as she does into her novels.’

—Elaine Raphael, Goodreads reader

‘Sharply crafted and authentic… These are stories that linger, long after they are read.’
