I'm working my way through the swag of new potential members for The Squad, so here's another 5 colleagues joining us today - 4 Americans and 1 Australian. This now takes us to 150 in number, with our 5 new members. That's 150 cops and ex-cops (and some PIs) who have taken to writing crime fiction. You won't get more realistic crime tales than those from this Squad! So, we have joining us today: 1. Art Adkins - served a long career with the LAPD and then the Gainesville PD in the US. Two crime novels I could find, plus non-fiction works. 2. Theresa Handrahan - a serving Federal Law Officer/Customs Officer with Homeland Security in the US. One crime novel I could find reference to. 3. Nelson Andreu - serving as the Chief of Police in the West Miami PD, following a long career with the Miami PD. One crime novel I could find. 4. Roger Bray - British-born and ex-Royal Navy, but emigrated to Australia and served with both the Australian Federal Police and the Queensland Police. Three crime novels so far. 5. John M. Coyle - served a long career with the LAPD and the FBI is the US. One crime novel I could find. Our Squad now consists of: 70 American 40 British 10 Australian 9 Canadian 4 New Zealanders 3 Finnish 2 Dutch 2 Swedish 1 French 1 Bahamian 1 Norwegian 1 Italian 1 Czech 1 Russian 1 Hungarian 1 Spaniard 1 Pakistani 1 Irish I'll keep adding more as I come across them, and if you know of any others please feel free to drop me a line. Check out The Squad: Also: Cops Writing Crime And please remember, my list is only for CRIME FICTION - not all the true crime and/or memoir writing by cops and ex-cops that's out there (as good as so much of that is). Cheers, ABP |
