According to the book description of The Real Deal, "In the early
morning hours of June 16, 2006, Captain Octavio "Ox" Gonzalez of the St. John
Parish Sheriff's Office, Bureau of Narcotics, was ambushed, gunned down and
murdered by one Johnnie Lee Cheeks. No conspiracy, no well laid plans: just a
small time, dirt-bag somehow managing to get the drop on a much better man.
However, The Real Deal is not an exploratory account of the incident in
question. Rather than focusing on the gruesome details of Captain Gonzalez's
murder, the author has chosen instead to focus on a series of unusual events
which occurred in the months that followed; events that left witnesses both
perplexed and inspired. Told from the author's perspective, The Real Deal,
recounts his rise to narcotics investigator and reveals lessons learned while
serving under Gonzalez... both before, and after, the Captain's untimely
demise."
