Two new books from northwest-books.com

The Real Police by David Ziskin

This book is about what it is REALLY like to be a street cop and why it should be done differently. The real police are the people who work the street - the first officers on the scene of trouble. They are not supervisors or administrators. They make all of the most important decisions in police work, but are at the bottom of the hierarchy. This is a view not covered in popular media and includes social history, historical background material and humor, as well as a model for reform.

We Are All Fine Here by Mary Guterson

A thoroughly irresistible debut novel by Bainbridge Island, Wash. author about a discontented woman (married, with a teenage son, and fast approaching middle age) who dallies in her past-with startling, humorous, and bittersweet consequences.

â??What distinguishes this book from its genre counterparts is author Guterson's unabashed willingness to let Julia voice the sort of thoughts that are publicly eschewed, and these glimpses into the mind of her tell-it-like-it-is narrator make for some liberating, laugh-outâ?? loud passages.â?? - Publisherâ??s Weekly
