This fictional story was written by a young policewoman who has a big heart for police members. She had the unfortunate loss of a family member as a result of cancer and did a lot of research about leukaemia with the writing of this book. The events occurring at police stations and what happens during the execution of a police officer’s duties are real and a true reflection – guaranteed to keep the reader captured from beginning to the end.
