THE PASSING OF FAT JACK is set in the mid-90s, where even in Hollywood, you didn't have to ask, "What's your pronouns?" Author STEVE SEDERWALL, former LAPD, and retired federal Criminal Investigator presents a peek behind the curtain into the humor entrenched in the most serious business of real police work. It was a time when the Blue Street Sharks patrolled the city of Angeles with one job, protect the innocent at all costs. It was also a time when you could safely ask a hot new female rookie out on a date without the fear of mopping the floor with your clean-pressed uniform while doing the "electric chicken" as you rode the lightning bolt of her taser. It was before it was fashionable to have your feelings affixed to their sleeve. Whether you came on the job when the "Wheel Gun" was standard issue, or if you're in the trenches now, you're guaranteed to love this ride in a Black and White. From the occasional cross-dressing assault victim to the daily roll call, you'll love this throwback to the days when cops lived for the chase, all the while dreading the paperwork that always followed. It was a time before the words "politically" and "correct" were shacked up together. There was a saying at LAPD, the first day on the job you are issued a big bowl of marbles. Every time you allow something to touch your soul, a marble is taken away. When you've lost all your marbles it's time to go. Many of the characters you're about to meet have lost most of their marbles.
