BOOK REVIEW: The Year We Disappeared


Told from alternating points of view, this true story about a cop who was targeted and shot in the face and lived to tell about it. It chronicles his fear, struggle to survive, effort to keep his family safe and need to bring justice to his attacker in a corrupt police force. His daughter details how, at nine years old, she was confused about what was happening in her family, scared of something happening to them, worried about her father, outcast by her friends and angry that her life was turned upside down.

Great non-fiction book that reads like fiction. Amazing that an attempted murder on a cop can be ignored by an entire police department. Recommended!
