PRESS RELEASE:
Are you ready to get inside the minds of police officers? Convict Lake: Behind the Badge does just that. Often heartbreakingly blunt and gruesome, you’ll live and feel the gamut of police work during the height of the 60’s hippie movement to present day. Written by local author, Mike Krecioch, he reveals what law enforcement officers share with each other when alone on an annual retreat. Humor, murder, tenderness, decapitation, fire, sadness, indifference, anger, thievery, family disputes, stabbings, shootings, riots, serial killers, and human stupidity is the world behind the badge.
Published by local publishing company Grateful Steps, this book is now available and a book launch event is planned for:
