Book description
This highly charged and entertaining novel will give the reader a
sustained look inside the world of SWAT. SWAT operators are modern
knights, who strive to be the best of the best, and are called upon 24-7
to strap on their black armor and venture calmly into places others run
screaming out of. Officer Dan McCarthy, Sergeant Dave Compton, Randy
Stammos, Gary Carpenter, and the incorrigible Stanley Brockman will meet
a variety of deadly challenges as well as a determined and especially
vicious adversary, Harley David Slade, who has taken the term “War on
Drugs” literally. You will be introduced to the courageous SWAT Officer
Maddy Brown who, along with her fellow SWAT team members, will be
physically and emotionally tested to the limits in this second book in
the McCarthy series. Open the book, take a deep breath, and read the
police novel that real cops read. “Lt. Dan” Marcou is a highly
decorated police officer who spent thirty-three years in the profession.
He was the 2004 ASP SWAT Officer of the Year for his effective response
to a call where a subject had opened fire killing innocents with an UZI
machine gun. Marcou is able to weave his stories so realistically
because he has witnessed firsthand the pain of victims, the cruelty of
perpetrators, as well as the undaunted courage of his fellow officers
that is often ignored by the media and taken for granted by the
communities they serve. His first novel, The Calling: The Making of a
Veteran Cop, received a five-star rating by Barnes and Noble and was
read by police officers world-wide. SWAT: Blue Knights in Black Armor
promises to make Dan Marcou's novels the literary standard for realistic
police fiction.
