O knihe

"Mike has the best stories!" "You should write a book!" I heard this more times than I can count. I kept thinking to myself, "I do have good stories, but who wants to read another cop book?" Then I was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, and realized - I had a story to tell - something different...something special! The stories people found interesting and unique were not ordinary cop stories but cop stories with a twist! Not the adventures of your everyday cop but one with rare neurological wiring! I started to write, and with the help of the eidetic memory that comes with the Asperger package, I soon had the makings of four books. And, when I looked at the two books about my adventures as a uniformed cop and the two books of adventures as a detective; I needed a fifth! I needed a prequel to the police department. A foundational book, if you will, about life with undiagnosed Asperger syndrome that eventually led me to the police department and beyond! This is that book: The first in a series detailing my unique adventures, trials and triumphs from childhood in a crowded SW Philly row-home-city-state, populated by the apex of the Boom - when grade school classes strained at the seams with 100 children per class and city busses tottered under the weight of high school students packed to the doors - set in the most interesting times of the last century: the '60s and '70s! This book starts in the crib and flows to the steps of the Philadelphia Police Academy where the adventure matures and continues with those "best stories" - authentic stories - straight from heart of Philly.
