"A Cop's Life"...is about the man in the Ninja outfit who absorbs a full magazine of hollow point bullets and still raises his gun to kill you..."A Cop's Life" ...is about the honour student, the pride and hope of his family, hanging from a speaker wire, or the baby who dies in your arms, or the people who think you're a hero - or the devil...In this powerful collection of tales from the frontlines, Las Vegas police sergeant Randy Sutton goes beyond the neon into the dark corners of society, putting us into the driver's seat of his cruiser and a job that ricochets from moments of sheer terror to coffee-fuelled boredom - with stops on the way at every conceivable act of human folly and depravity. With a poet's touch, and the unflinching realism of a crime scene photograph, "A Cop's Life" is the ultimate depiction of the hardest job there is.
