description: GOTCHA! is an account of the adventures of Joseph Laney, a longtime professional fugitive recovery agent—i.e., a bounty hunter—and martial arts instructor. When tracking and apprehending bail jumpers-from common street thugs to la crème de la scum- Joseph Laney uses his martial-arts-trained hands and feet, conventional weapons whenever necessary, and most of all, his mind, to wend his way through the risky business at hand. With CSI-like attention to detail, GOTCHA! shows the reader not just what Laney does in his pursuit of scofflaws, but how and why he does it, and even why--sometimes--he doesn't.An intriguing mix of true crime and law enforcement narrative, musings on the philosophy of martial arts and the meaning of life, and the reflections of a decent man keeping his compass through situations and places where decency seems irrelevant, GOTCHA! is a fascinating, often humorous, look at the gritty reality of crime and the courts-and the people working both sides of the law.
