Vice and Vengeance: Travis Jensen

by Dennis Zigrang

Prostitutes, alcohol, and lurid sexual trysts are all in a days work for Detective Travis Jensen of the Vice Squad. He spends his nights searching the streets of Long Beach, California for some of the most desperate and bizarre criminals the city has to offer. Undercover work had trained him to think on his feet, but nothing could prepare him for her. When Jennifer Bennett strolled into his life, the lines between reality and fantasy vanished as Travis immersed himself in the biggest case of his career. What started as a simple arrest soon hurled the close-knit squad into the violent world of street prostitution and narcotics. Relying on his more than two decades in law enforcement, author Dennis Zigrang introduces readers to a rarely seen side of police work in his first novel VICE AND VENGEANCE. This small group of undercover detectives is charged with discreetly dealing with the moral ills that plague civilized society. Often on their own, they have to use their cunning and wits to blend in with the fringe elements that roam the streets of Long Beach.

Dennis Zigrang is an actual Long Beach Police officer who knows the City inside and out. This book captures the true essence of the City and its police force. The story is gripping, humorous, and tense, describing the people and criminals who inhabit real streets of this diverse coastal town. You will really love this book...

he oughta write a book about how they profile minorities, and murder special needs / disabled/ mentality ill civilians and how they lie on their reports, and have a bigot cop gangs operating within and last but not least treat minority officers like shot if they don’t treat their own kind like shit.

Great read, very authentic

Dennis did an exceptional job of portraying the life and job of a police officer. While Travis may have exceeded most of the actions that police officers experience, the emotions and daily routines were well depicted. The references to Long Beach brought back memories of days past. I'm looking forward to reading his next book.
