According to the book description of Why Would you Want to be an Undercover Cop, “This is a story about the October 15, 1976 shootout with the Outlaw Motorcycle Club in Tampa, Florida. There are a number of short stories about the detectives that made up the unit at the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office during that period. There are humorous stories that end up at the tragic ending. Over the years these stories were told over and over again. I decided to put the stories together for the right version of the many tales from the "Narc Side". I hope you enjoy them.”
