According to the book description of
Narc in the Dark, “Retired police Lieutenant Dan Byram has pulled his .45 and kicked down
the door of the Arizona book scene. His new novel NARC IN THE DARK is a hilarious look at the world of Arizona politics, undercover
operations, and crime. Under cover unit commander Frank Bailey and sex crimes detective Denise Downey track an internet child
predator. Their efforts are thwarted by headline grabbing politicians who interpret a minor vandalism incident as a terrorist
attack on their unpopular smoking ban. Like real-life police work, this book thrusts the reader from tears, to laughter, to
fear as officers dodge politics to get the job done!”
Steve Benson said of Narc
in the Dark, “Enjoy the read and the bleed! His writing crackles with the wicked wit of one who has survived
and thrived as a cop, revealing a sense of street smarts that only comes from a life in the belly of the beast, slugging it
out with society’s creeps and criminals. Who would want a crime fighter turned crime writer any other way?”
James J. Ness Ph.D. (Retired police
chief) said of Narc in the Dark, “Narc in the Dark is a gritty, humorous and compelling drama
of big city cops. Dan Byram writes from the heart and from experience of the street in a true Wambaugh fashion.”
According to the book description of
Border of Vengeance, “Retired Arizona Peace Officer Dan Byram presents the first in a series
of novels entitled Mason's Cavalry - Border of Vengeance. This book is a unique treat for the military history buff and
western-adventure fan alike. Based on actual events occurring near Camp Harry Jones in Cochise County, Arizona circa 1910,
Dan spins the tale of cavalry troopers, Buffalo Soldiers, Arizona Rangers and border outlaws in life or death conflict.
Colonel Mason commands a remote cavalry
remount station in Douglas, Arizona. His boisterous Sergeant Bronk McGuillicotty, arrogant young Second Lieutenant Cleary
and former Texas cowhand turned trooper Frank Boothe embark on a dangerous manhunt for the killer 'El Cuchillo' and
his so called revolutionary army. Aided by Arizona Ranger Peterson, the manhunt becomes a fight for survival as outlaw bands
rally for an invasion of Douglas, Arizona.
Bob Boze Bell (Western author and artist)
said of Border of Vengeance, “Mighty fine work, Dan Byram. Reading this book inspires me to
drive down to Cochise County and see that historic country with new eyes. A Good western read!”
Mason Coggins (Director of Arizona
Department of Mines and Mineral Resources and Award winning cowboy poet) said of Border of Vengeance,
“See how Rough Rider veterans bought law and order to the Territory of Arizona!”
