In 1973 police officer Danny Lugo opened the door of a South Central Los Angeles liquor store. Within moments he lay dead, murdered with his own gun. Ten years later and just off probation, Officer Brian O'Callahan opened a different kind of door—the door of a long-vacant locker in LAPD's most violent division. Peering into the grey metal coffer, Brian never imagined his life would soon go beyond a cop's domain of flashing lights, piercing sirens, and muzzle flashes. By hanging his uniform in Locker 32 Brian had unknowingly accepted a terrible task. Over the following months Brian demonstrates inexplicable prowess as a police officer and develops a rare alliance with the community. He gains the attention of many, including a vicious criminal who knows how to handle problem cops. _________________________________ Have you ever looked across a band of yellow crime-scene tape and wondered what the two cops on the other side of it were talking about? Or how it feels to pursue a bad guy at blistering speeds with a siren screaming in your ears? Ever seen a pair of police officers jump up from a half-eaten meal and race out of a restaurant? Did you try to imagine where they were headed? Utilizing his twenty-seven years of police work on the streets of Los Angeles, author Gregory Baltad takes you there. His storytelling prowess and imaginative descriptions will have you riding shotgun with some of LAPD's bravest, toughest, and funniest cops. By opening Locker 32, you release a real cop story wrapped in an otherworld thriller.
