Publisher's Synopsis
New Novel Features Police Officer Fighting Drugs in 1980s California
Riding One More Wave: A Blue Legacy of Honor and Duty by Bradley Carpenter is a look back at an honorable police officer who went above and beyond to keep the streets of Oakland, California safe in the 1980s.
The novel opens with a Prologue by the author who discusses how his good friend, Officer Bobby Jackson, lost his battle with melanoma. When he died, Carpenter took his friend's diaries and turned them into the following novel about his experiences as a police officer in Oakland, California.
The reader quickly realizes that Officer Bobby Jackson truly cares about the people he is on the streets to protect. The police do not always have the best reputation these days, but reading this novel made me really appreciate the work they do, how they put themselves in danger every day, and how officers like Jackson think outside the box to make at least their section of the world better.
