Walk the Blue Line: No right, no left—just cops telling their true stories to James Patterson. (Hardcover)
From the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of Walk in My Combat Boots: true-life stories from the men and women who protect and serve our homes, families and communities.
Protect
These men and women are our eyes. Our ears. Our protectors. Those who wear a badge, doing their best to help people.
Serve
These cops serve their communities. They serve their country. They’re in the business of saving lives—even at the risk of their own.
Defend
These patrol officers and K9 handlers, sheriffs and detectives, reveal what it’s really like to wear the uniform, to carry the weight of the responsibility they’ve been given.
This is a calling. This is the job.
