Meer over het boek

The Father, The Son, and the Railroad Ghost is the bittersweet epoch saga of three generations of cops beginning with the career of T.J. (Pappy Tom) Starrett, an ex-Virginia State Trooper and Game Warden torn between a brain tumor and the stigmas of leaving the state police and an accidental gunshot wound. Continuing the saga is T.J.'s second son Dan, a Virginia law enforcement officer and correctional officer. After seven years of research Dan uncovers the mystery surrounding his grandfather Walter B. Starrett's line of duty death. Walter was killed in a running gun battle on Christmas Eve of 1917 while a detective for the B&O Railroad Police Department in Mitchell, IN. Dan must live with the stigmas of an illicit love affair and his struggles to place his grandfather's name on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C. Written in cop talk, The Father, the Son, and the Railroad Ghost involves life, death, murder, and adultery topped off with a startling revelation-- and an ultimate triumph.
