Lee Lofland's Police Police Procedure & Investigation reads like a  thriller. It's every crime writer's indispensable reference--packed with  the kind of information and insider knowledge that make the police  procedure in crime fiction feel authentic. --Hallie Ephron, Edgar-nominated novelist and author of Writing and  Selling Your Mystery NovelPolice Procedure & Investigation is an invaluable tool for writers  of mystery fiction. --J.A. Jance, New York Times best-selling mystery authorThis book is a zinger! Police Procedure & Investigation is packed  with all-you-need-to-know detail, yet it reads like a best-selling  thriller. I know it's a "Guide for Writers," but I think anyone interested  in the world of law enforcement should get a copy.
