It is a portrait of a disappearing breed: the independent lawman who covets justice and is willing to deliver it. For decades, Grevillius worked in places most people wisely avoid: organized crime, fugitive recovery, surveillance, missing-person cases, violent offenders, and the criminal world just beyond the edge of ordinary life. Beneath the stakeouts, foot chases, interrogations, and close calls lies a thoughtful examination of what decades spent confronting evil do to a man. His prose has the cadence of a man who has spent decades telling impossible stories to skeptical audiences — and winning them over. Hollywood has spent decades trying to create believable action heroes.
