Publisher's Synopsis
Follow the career and life of Plain Clothes Detective Gary Arlaud of the Virgin Islands Police Department in St. Croix, the big island. This is the second of a eight book series spanning his life from the 1976-1977 While Plato Gomez Was in rehab for 2 years recovering from the shot gun blast to the chest, at the end of Caribbean Cops. This book will fit on your shelf Between Caribbean Cops and Caribbean Cops II. This boob was written years after the original series was completed. This novel is an amalgam of truth and fiction. All of the events described are based on actual occurrences, some of which have been slightly altered for the sake of dramatic unity. Some of the characters are a combination of several people; this allows a consolidation for literary efficiency. The real people know who they are, and without them, this story would not have been possible. The names of living policemen have been changed to protect the privacy of those who were there. Some dates have also been chronologically adjusted. This story takes place at the end of an era. The story of what it was to be a Cop, and how Cops got the job done. Within ten years Police, work was turned inside out. Driven by the stiffer mandates of the Miranda decision, governments finally starting to pay realistic wages, to attract and retain professional policemen. Some of the chapters in this book will begin with what I will call a Technical, Philosophical, or experience relating to the subject of the story that will follow. I hope this will make the subject matter easier to take pleasure in, such as Arson, Crime Scene, and Homicide etc. Some of the chapters will relate to incident prior to the teaming Of Plato Gomez and Gary Arlaud. The over all story is--- How Detective Arlaud won his Gold Shield. Enjoy...
