A Secret Service Agent's Proven Strategies for Earning Trust, Revealing the Truth, and Communicating with Anyone

Tell Me Everything

Finalist for the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion award in the nonfiction category.Back in 1982, Frankie and Annette wouldn't have survived ten minutes on this beach. Not before either being robbed, brutally assaulted, or forced to flee in terror from a violent lunatic amped to the gills on angel dust.Incredibly, the seaside sands were still much safer than the anarchic downtown streets of Oceanside, California. Little wonder the street cops' unofficial motto for the town was, "Where the Debris Meets the Sea."Are you in the mood for another utterly insensitive, grotesquely funny, and brutally honest stroll down memory alley? In this sequel to the first volume of his well-received memoirs, "Service With a Sneer," retired homicide detective and author John J. Lamb shares a new collection of insightful and riveting tales from his remarkable police career.Lamb takes the reader back four decades and to his days as a young street cop with the Oceanside Police Department. Nowadays, the city is an upscale tourist destination, drawing visitors from around the globe. Back then, it was one of the most violent municipalities in California, with a sky-high homicide rate. Armed street robberies were commonplace, vicious assaults occurred on an almost daily basis, street gang violence was the norm, and people were murdered for the flimsiest of reasons.But for Lamb, a self-confessed adrenaline junkie, policing the pitiless streets of Oceanside - and dealing with the feral human inhabitants - was the most fun he ever had with his clothes on. In this second volume of his anecdotal memoirs, we follow his continuing journey as he transitions from a tough and competent street cop to a skilled CSI, whose exceptional performance begins to attract the attention of homicide detectives.As with the first volume, the book begins with a warning that "SNAGs" (Sensitive New Age Guys/Gals) should avoid reading any further to avoid upset and severe emotional trauma. Next comes a glossary of deliciously ironic and enlightening California cop jargon from the early 1980s. Learn the meanings of "Screen Test", "H.U.A.", and "Bus Therapy," to name just a few.Lamb's stories include: The closest he ever came in his life to winning the "Darwin Award."Tales of savage hand-to-hand combat with berserk and violent PCP users in an era before Tasers and other "less lethal" measures existed.How he deliberately violated every element of hostage negotiation protocols in order to get a barricaded gunman to surrender to police.The tense account of how he pulled a drowned toddler from a swimming pool and used CPR to restore the child to life.His discovery of a vicious and life-threatening attack that led to the rescue of two young women and the arrest of a brutal sexual predator.And how he came to regret prematurely stopping a man from repeatedly punching a sanctimonious fellow police officer.As always, Lamb's stories are riveting, thought-provoking, occasionally revolting, educational, surreal, heartrending, and often rich with macabre humor.Above all, they are true.

Volume Two in the Service with a Sneer Chronicles

Beach Blanket Bedlam

"From the highest-ranking whistleblower in the history of the NYPD, a political memoir that exposes the brokenness of policing from both outside and inside the system During the workday, Edwin Raymond is on the beat as a ranked lieutenant in the New York Police Department. When the uniform comes off, he takes on a very different role: the lead plaintiff in the largest-ever civil rights lawsuit against the very police force he serves. This is the true story of one of our country's most important whistleblowers against police injustice, told in his own words. Raised in a poverty-stricken, largely immigrant neighborhood in Brooklyn and driven toward law enforcement by the hope of being a positive influence in his community, Raymond quickly learned that the problem with policing is a lot deeper than merely "a few bad apples"-the entire mechanism is set up to ensure that racial profiling is rewarded, and there are weighty consequences for cops who don't play along. Offering a rare, often shocking view of American policing through the eyes of an insider to the system, Raymond pulls back the curtain on the many injustices woven into the NYPD's training, data, and practices-all of which have been repackaged and repurposed by police departments across America. At once revelatory and galvanizing, An Inconvenient Cop is a whistleblower account unlike any other-a book that courageously bears witness to and exposes institutional violence, all while presenting a vision of radical hope, making the case for a world in which the police's responsibility is to the people, not to their arrest numbers"--

How does a determined NYPD officer stop corporate giants from poisoning the water supply when his own department is tearing up his citations? He calls in the heavy-hitters. In the new biography Strong Arm of the Law, author David Smale chronicles the remarkable journey of Ron Gatto, a career lawman who pivoted from traditional policing to become a pioneer in environmental protection. The book, set for release on August 3, 2026, details Gatto's unlikely but powerful alliance with famed environmental attorney and political icon Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to dismantle industrial pollution in the New York metropolitan area and New York state. The narrative follows Gatto's transition from a frustrated young officer to a high-ranking official in the New York and Westchester County police departments. After his early attempts to cite polluting corporations were suppressed by NYPD "brass," an invitation to Kennedy's office sparked a decades-long partnership and friendship that would change New York's environmental landscape forever. Beyond the legal battles, Strong Arm of the Law offers behind-the-scenes looks at Gatto's interactions with some of New York's most notable figures, like Richard Gere, Cindy Crawford, Fred Gwynne, Christopher Lawford and many others. By the end of his distinguished career, Gatto's influence reached the highest levels of state government, answering directly to Governor Andrew Cuomo. Infused with Gatto's trademark self-deprecating humor and featuring candid insights from Kennedy himself, the book serves as both a gritty true-crime memoir and an inspirational roadmap for those fighting "impossible" noble causes.

COPE OR DIE

This is a true story about a street cop and the challenges he faced while trying to deal with the pitfalls and tragedies of life. The author of this "tell all" book writes of his experiences on the streets during years within the Law Enforcement community. Sometimes embarrassing, sometimes hilarious, and often raw. It's about the lifestyle, the addictive lure of the chase, and the emotional and physical costs endured along the way. The author uses some of the actual cases and real-world situations he encountered while pursuing his dreams and that elusive peace we all need so desperately. In all walks of life, we must learn to either cope or die. Follow Louis Schwiebert down the path to discover "the missing link." My name is Louis J. Schwiebert. I was born in California and went to Cuesta College and Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. My careers were in Law Enforcement and consulting. My hobbies are working-out at the gym and firearms training. Finding Jesus brought me to Christian ministry work 28 years ago and was the inspiration for my book.

Fifty-Two Years a Policeman

Independently published

Behind every locked door, there's a story. Behind every set of keys, there's a correctional officer carrying more than anyone ever sees.The Weight of the Keys is a raw, darkly humorous, and brutally honest memoir from a veteran correctional officer who spent years inside the American prison system. From the chaos of first shifts to the quiet burnout that builds over time, this book pulls no punches about what really happens behind the walls.Life on the inside is not what most people imagine. It's not just rules, uniforms, and routine-it's manipulation, violence, absurdity, and moments of unexpected humanity that can shift in an instant. It's learning to read people who have nothing to lose. It's navigating a system where common sense and policy don't always meet. And it's surviving long enough to still laugh about it later.Through a series of real, unforgettable stories, this memoir takes you from rookie mistakes and institutional chaos to leadership frustrations, burnout, and the quiet question every long-term officer eventually faces: how long can I keep doing this before it changes who I am?Some moments are laugh-out-loud ridiculous. Others are disturbing, emotional, or difficult to forget. Many are all three at once.At its core, The Weight of the Keys is about survival-of the job, of the mind, and of the self.
