About this author

Zach Fortier was a police officer for over 30 years, specializing in K-9, SWAT, gang, domestic violence and sex crimes as an investgator. In Curbchek, he returns to his hometown as a cop, sure his tactical military training can make a difference. The city has other plans for his idealism. The novel Curbchek follows his journey into the realities of the street and the officers who work them, the hunters and the hunted jostling for position in the warped core of America's urban melting pot boiling over. Curbchek has been in the top 11 on Amazon's category 'Hot New Releases in Hard-Boiled Mysteries'. To find out more about Zach and get in touch with him see:
