Alaska is an extremely large state with very remote locations where trouble may occur. The fishing grounds of Bristol Bay, the easternmost area of the Bering Sea, is one of those places. It’s not uncommon to send large contingencies of Alaska State Troopers (AST) to quell some sort of seasonal ‘fish war’. In this case, it left Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula AST Detachment with personnel to handle active emergencies, but not enough to investigate serious crimes. The Detachment Captain opted to contract four retired Troopers to investigate local crimes. Their first case is the murder of a Soldotna, Alaska city police officer. As the Squad follows evidence to track the killer, each piece of evidence tips like dominoes into new leads, from one person to another and more crimes. The chain of events tests the skills of the Squad, as the investigation is compounded by challenges and threats from professional hitmen. This story is an exciting insight into the investigative process, the value of experience, character and maturity with the retired Alaska State Trooper investigators on the case. Readers will love the storytelling and action binding this case and these men nicknamed the ‘Alaska State Troopers: GEEZER SQUAD’.

Anyone involved professionally in the criminal justice system, isn’t likely to have the same sense of humor or personal character as regular folks. We can’t talk about our jobs or the people we deal with daily, like most working people. Those daily things are confidential. We’re not allowed to discuss them outside the office, and even then, with no one except a few other law enforcement people. This restriction is what makes cops seem standoffish and unfriendly. They’re not really that way. They’re like any other person you meet. That’s also why cops hang out with cops. In reality, we can be rowdy, uncouth people at times, I suppose. There’s a group of us, all retired law enforcement, that gather at my house each morning for coffee. Our group has been tossed out of just about every cafe in the vicinity, not for behavior, but for staying too long. Now we meet at my kitchen table for our daily gab session and coffee, of course. I’ve used the personalities of these retired officers to create characters in this book. The characters and story are fiction, but the personalities are real. They’re a great bunch of friends and loyal companions. I am proud to have authored this book and equally proud to be a member of the ‘Alaska State Troopers: GEEZER SQUAD’.
